Unaka District - Venturing


Venturing.

What is Venturing?

Venturing is for those who want to go beyond the conventional . . .  to higher levels of challenge . . . to a Scouting program of their own that will demand more of them . . . and give them more in return. 

Venturing presents high-adventure activities or sports for older Scouts to choose from.  The activities pull no punches.  The toughest challenges are there to accept – snow camping, orienteering, cycling, survival, and many others.   The Venture Patrol is a special patrol for older Scouts interested in more rugged action, such as whitewater canoeing or wilderness backpacking.

Venturing – Patrol and Crew.

Venture Patrol. Scouts participating within their own troop in Venture activities are part of a Venture Patrol.  They can be in this patrol once they reach the age of 13 and First Class rank.

Venture Crew.  Sometimes a troop will form a separate unit called a Venture Crew that will have an entirely separate unit number.  The Venture Crew is co-ed meaning that both boys and girls can join.  The age for a Crew is from age 14-21.  A male crew member continues with his regular Scouting advancement program, troop activities, and troop leadership responsibilities.
