Venture Crew is a Co-Ed program branched off of The Boyscouts of America, with members ranging from 14-21 years of age. To quote from the official venturing webpage, "You love exploring your passions,
making new friends, and discovering the world. You're always looking for an adventure. Rappelling a cliff.
Perfecting your shot. Designing a robot. Kayaking into the sunset. Exploring your faith. Volunteering at an animal
shelter. The choice is yours! Each activity provides an opportunity to shine and learn more about yourself and the
world around you. Venturing is youth-led and youth-inspired. You'll acquire life skills and gain experiences that will
prove to be valuable regardless of where your future takes you, all while having a blast: leadership, event-planning,
organization, communication, responsibility – the list goes on!"
In this program, focuses are on a few key concepts that can be beneficial to any youth wanting to be
involved:
-Service -Gaining leadership skills -Learning scout skills
-Continual advancement of rank
Of this, skills such as planning and execution of different decisions being made is a skill
sharpened by participation since the different programs and events the venture crew does is all
planned by the crew. However unlike smaller or different youth programs everyone helps in
decision making and planning, adding that executive skill as one to be used by any member.
