What Is Venturing
Venturing is a youth development program of the Boy Scouts of America for young men and women who are 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 their communities. The result is a program of exciting and meaningful activities that help youths pursue their special interests, grow, develop leadership skills, and become good citizens.

Crew Advisor's Corner
Did you know?
You can start your Eagle Scout project anytime. You don't have to wait till you achieve
the rank of Life Scout. Get your Eagle Scout Project completed before November.
Don't wait till the snow flies! Spend the winter knocking out Merit badges. If you just
reached the rank of Star Scout you could be joining the Ranks of Eagle Scout just one
year from now and much sooner if your a Life Scout.
Don't let the grass grow under your feet! Let's all keep forging ahead.
