Venturing
Venturing is a year-round
program for young men and women who are 14 through 20 years of age, or 13 and have completed the
eighth grade.
Venturing's purpose is to provide positive experiences to
help young people mature and to prepare them to become
responsible and caring adults.
Venturing is based on a unique and dynamic relationship
between youth, adult leaders, and organizations in their
communities. Local community organizations establish a Venturing
crew by matching their people and program resources to the
interests of young people in the community. The result is a
program of exciting and meaningful activities that helps youth
pursue their special interests, grow, develop leadership skills,
and become good citizens.
Venturing crews can specialize in a variety of avocation or
hobby interests.
Sea Scouts is a
separate program under the Venturing division, with the same
membership requirements as Venturing. Sea Scouts is one of the
oldest programs in Scouting, dating back to 1912.
