Venturing is a Catalyst
 Venturing brings together adults and young people. Incredible things have happened and can happen in this coming together. The experiences that can emerge from this group of people is up to the people themselves. The more the individuals in the group ask of themselves and of one another, the more possibilities they have for experiences that they'll carry with them for the rest of their lives. For example: A crew in Minnesota organized an activity to go sailing off the coast of Africa; a crew in Houston sent along experiments on a recent space-shuttle mission; and a crew in California spent nearly 10,000 hours making the nature trails of the Angeles National Forest more accessible to the visually impaired by installing trail posts in Braille to identify the forest's flora and fauna.
What Is Venturing?
 This Scouting program is for young men and young women ages 14 - who have completed the 8th grade - to age 20. It includes challenging high-adventure activities, sports and hobbies that teach leadership skills, provide opportunities to teach others, and offer an opportunity to learn and grow and find motivation to succeed in a supporting, caring and enjoyable environment.
Local community groups such as professional organizations, churches and civic groups initiate Venturing Crews. They do this by matching the interests of young adults with people and program resources within their own organizations.
