Venturing is an inclusive program through Scouting America for males and females aged 14-20 (or 13 and completed the 8th grade). It’s operated through Venturing Crews - units of youth and advisors that meet on set schedules and plan activities and events for youth like you! 

The Venturing program aims to enable young adults to:

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

• Acquire skills in the area of their crew’s specialty.

• Become a skilled training and program resource for other youth groups.

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

• Learn to make ethical choices throughout their lives by instilling the values of the Scout Oath and Law.

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

The Venturing program emphasizes four main areas known as the A-L-P-S model:

• Adventure – Mentoring, leading, and participating in crew-led adventures.

• Leadership – Ongoing leadership development through training, mentoring, and hands-on leadership.

• Personal Growth – Goal-setting in support of personal growth.

• Service – Leading and participating in community service.
