Venturing is the young adult program of the Boy Scouts of America for men and women 14 (who have completed 8th grade) through 20 years of age. Local community organizations such as professional organizations, churches, and civic groups initiate specific Venturing crews. They do this by matching the interests of the young adults withe the people and program resources with the people and program.
For example, a local SCUBA shop could start a Venturing crew and invite young adults interested in high-adventure activities to join. A church might have adults that could provide leadership and program support to a Venturing crew that does service-oriented project like building Habitat for Humanity houses or working at day-care centers and retirement homes. A hobby club associated with a hobby store could provide adult leadership program resources for young people interested in a specific or a variety of hobbies.
The program of the Boy Scouts of America is to provide young adults, thought these community organizations, an effective Venturing program designed to build character, promote citizenship, and develop personal and mental fitness. Each crew has a responsibility of achieving this purpose by designing it own program.
If you are interested in helping charting a course for Venture Crew 432, please meet with Mr. Horter during Patrol Corners Monday evening.
