What is Venturing?

• • Venturing is a youth development program of the Boy Scouts of America for young adults who are 13 and have completed the eighth grade, or age 14 through 20 years of age. 

  • 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.
