What is Venturing Scouts? Venturing is a youth program of Scouting America for ages 14-20 (or 13 and completed 8th grade) focused on youth-led adventures, leadership, and personal growth, allowing teens to create their own experiences in high-adventure, service, arts, or other interests, developing skills for becoming responsible adults through activities like rock climbing, kayaking, community service, and event planning. It's a flexible program where members, called Venturers, run their own crews with adult mentors, choosing activities that matter to them, unlike the traditional badge-focused Scouts BSA.
