the Venturing Dispatch May 2010 Issue
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 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.
