Venturing is the young adult program of the Boy Scouts of America for young men and women who are aged 14 (and have completed eighth grade) to 20. Venturing units are called crews; adults are called advisors. The youth leader is the president. The program is developed by local community organizations (chartered organizations) such as churches, civic groups, and educational and business institutions that match the interests of young adults with the program resources of the organization. This training is designed to introduce adult venturing crew leaders to the basic information needed to operate a crew. The training is divided into five sessions: 1) Here’s Venturing, 2) Understanding and Protecting Youth, 3) Leadership and Organization, 4) Awards and Recognitions, and 5) Resources and Program Planning.
