Venture Crew

Venturing can include high-adventure activities such as scuba diving, water skiing, rock climbing/rappelling, caving, horseback riding, and more, but can also include many avocation/hobby interests.
 
Venture Crew members can participate in the national Scout Jamboree.

Venturing should not be just an extension of a Boy Scout resident camp. Venturers need a more teenage oriented experience. Having Venturers involved in this planning process is a must.

Important differences in outdoor programs for Venturers include:
  • Venturing outdoor activities must include experiences beyond those available to younger youth.
  • Consideration of coed involvement.
  • Venturers should have a voice in choosing and planning activities.
  • Venturing outdoor programs should be patterned after types of activities that appeal to adults and teenagers.
  • The camp experience should not be overly structured, and should allow Venturers the opportunity to choose activities.
