What is Venturing?
Venturing is for young men and young women ages 14 to 20

Venturing is a new "old" program of the Boy Scouts of America.
Originally part of the Exploring Division, it finally came into its
own in 1998.  It has become the fastest growing program of the BSA.
 Young adults have found through the Venturing program
the outlet they have been Looking for in their age group.

There are continued misconceptions about what Venturing is all about. Venturing is not for
young boys and girls but rather for young adults. They are able to do more and go
further as a Venturer or Sea Scout in a Venturing crew or Sea Scout ship.

Venturing provides positive experiences to help young people mature and to
prepare them to become responsible and caring adults. Venturing provides
the skills needed for young adults to make ethical Choices, experience a
fun program full of adventure and challenges, acquire leadership skills, and to
take advantage of opportunities to advance their skills and knowledge in the
areas of high adventure, sports, arts, hobbies, religious life, and Sea Scouting.

 

The Venturing Oath

As a Venturer, I promise to do my duty to God and help
strengthen America, to help others, and to seek truth,
fairness, and adventure in our world.

 


It has been an exciting time of fast growth and great learning experiences. The Venturing youth cabinet is in a unique position to promote this exciting program through their active involvement in their regions and throughout the United States.

The Venturing Code

As a Venturer, I believe that America's strength lies in our trust in God and in the courage, strength, and traditions of our people.

I will, therefore, be faithful in my religious duties and will maintain a personal sense of honor in my own life.

I will treasure my American heritage and will do all I can to preserve and enrich it.

I will recognize the dignity and worth of all humanity and will use fair play and goodwill in my daily life.

I will acquire the Venturing attitude that seeks truth in all things and adventure on the frontiers of our changing world.
