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.

 

 

Young adults involved in Venturing will:

 

• Learn to make ethical choices over their lifetimes by instilling the values in the Venturing Oath and Code.

• Experience a program that is fun and full of challenge and adventure.

• Become a skilled training and program resource for Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, and other groups.

• Acquire skills in the areas of high adventure, sports, arts and hobbies, religious life, or Sea Scouting.

• Experience positive leadership from adult and youth leaders and be given opportunities to take on leadership roles.

• Have a chance to learn and grow in a supportive, caring, and fun environment.
