Title: What Is Venturing?


1
What Is Venturing?
  • Venturing is a program of the Boy Scouts of
    America for young men and women who are 14
    (completed the 8th grade) through 20 years old.
  • Venturing's purpose is to provide positive
    experiences to help young people mature and to
    prepare them to become responsible and caring
    adults.

2
What Is Venturing? (Cont.)
  • The orientation of this Venturing Crew is toward
    High Adventure activities. This includes a wide
    range of activities including long-term
    backpacking and canoeing expeditions, rock
    climbing, sailing, caving or other activities
    that the crew picks. The only limitation on the
    activities is that the activity can be
    accomplished safely. This may require that crew
    members learn necessary skills to be safe.
