Venturer Scouts are youth 14-20 years old. They associate and work directly with adults as partners, but the crew is led by elected youth officers who are given opportunities to learn and apply leadership skills. Venturers plan and participate in activities that depend on cooperation and learning from others. An emphasis on high adventure provides opportunities for team-building and practical leadership applications.Each the Venturing award requires the Venture Scout to teach what they have learned to others returning the skill and knowledge back to the community and enabling the Venturer to master those skills
