WHAT IS VENTURING?
VENTURING IS A COED, 14-21 YEAR OLD, PROGRAM CREATED BY THE BSA. IT FOCUSES ON HIGH ADVENTURE ACTIVITIES, LEADERSHIP, TEAM WORK, SERVICE, RECOGNITION, AND ALL AROUND FUN!!! SINCE IT IS SCOUTING'S COED PROGRAM ANYONE FROM THE AGES OF 14(OR COMPLETED THE 8TH GRADE) TO 21 CAN JOIN NO MATTER THEIR GENDER. VENTURING OFFERS THE PERFECT PROGRAM FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN ADVENTURE AND DEVELOPING THEMSELVES. THE YOUTH DECIDE ON THE PROGRAM THEY WANT TO DO WHICH ALLOWS THE PROGRAM GO ANYWHERE THE CREW WANTS IT TO WITHIN CERTAIN LIMITS OF COURSE THAT THE ADULTS TRY TO MAINTAIN.
ACTIVITIES VENTURERS CAN DO!!
VENTURERS PARTICIPATE IN SUBSTANTIALLY MORE HIGH ADVENTURE ACTIVITIES THAN THEIR COUNTERPARTS IN BOY SCOUTING AND CUB SCOUTING. DUE TO THE OLDER MORE MATURE AGE RANGE OF VENTURERS THEY HAVE AN EASIER TIME PLANNING AND SUCCESSFULLY CARRYING OUT HIGH ADVENTURE ACTIVITIES. VENTURERS CAN ALSO PARTICIPATE IN LESS ADVENTUROUS ACTIVITIES SUCH AS SERVICE AND SMALL ACTIVITIES FOR FUN. SINCE THE YOUTH DECIDE WE CAN DO WHAT WE WANT TO DO!! ACTIVITIES INCLUDE...BACKPACKING, WHITE WATER RAFTING, CANOE TRIPS, KAYAKING, ROCK CLIMBING, CAVING, HIKING AND MUCH MORE!!
UNIFORM
THE UNIFORM IS UP TO THE CREW. THERE IS AN OFFICIAL FOREST GREEN UNIFORM VENTURERS CAN WEAR, BUT THE CREW DECIDED TO ADOPT A CREW T-SHIRT AND DOES NOT REQUIRE THE OFFICIAL UNIFORM FOR MEMBERS TO WEAR. |
