Venturing
Venturing is an inclusive program aimed at offering young men and women opportunities to experience nature and build positive relationships.
Answer the call of the wild by joining our Venturing program.
Venturing provides young men and women ages 14 to 20 with positive experiences to help them mature and develop into responsible and caring adults. Venturing is based on a unique and dynamic relationship involving the youth, adult leaders, mentors and community organizations. The result is a program of exciting meaningful activities that helps youth pursue their special interests, grow, develop leadership skills and become active citizens. Venturing Crews can focus on a variety of career or hobby-related activities.
Advancement
Venturing offers four ranks for members, each designed to help Venturers grow in adventure, leadership, personal development and service.
Camping
