Program Overview

Scouting in action

Venturing lives up to its name though taking adventure to new heights. An inclusive program through the Boy Scouts of America for males and females 14-20 (or 13 and completed the 8th grade), you’ll acquire life skills and gain experiences that will prove to be valuable regardless of where your future takes you. All this while having a blast! 

You love exploring your passions, making new friends, and discovering the world. You’re always looking for an adventure. Rappelling a cliff. Perfecting your shot. Designing a robot. Kayaking into the sunset. Exploring your faith. The choice is yours!
