About Venturing
Venturing is a new "old" program of the Boy Scouts of
America. Originally part of the Exploring Division, it finally came
into its own in 1998. It has become the fastest growing program of the
BSA. Young adults have found through the Venturing program the outlet
they have been looking for in their age group.
It has been an exciting time of fast growth and great learning
experiences. The Venturing youth cabinet is in a unique position to
promote this exciting program through their active involvement in their
regions and throughout the United States.
There are continued misconceptions about what Venturing is all
about. Venturing is not for young boys and girls but rather for young
adults. They are able to do more and go further as a Venturer or Sea
Scout in a Venturing crew or Sea Scout ship.
Venturing provides positive experiences to help young people mature
and to prepare them to become responsible and caring adults. Venturing
provides the skills needed for young adults to make ethical choices,
experience a fun program full of adventure and challenges, acquire
leadership skills, and to take advantage of opportunities to advance
their skills and knowledge in the areas of high adventure, sports,
arts, hobbies, religious life, and Sea Scouting.
