Venturing (Common terms: Venturing Crews)
Join Scouts

Venturing is one of scouting's newest and fastest growing programs. Venturing is for both girls and boys, ages 14-20, who want to challenge themselves and go places they never could before. If you like adventure, then Venturing is for you.

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.
