Top 10 Reasons Why a Boy Scout Troop Should Consider Joining a Venturing Crew

1. Venturing can keep older boys, ages 14-18, engaged in the troop longer. 
2. Venturing's new advancement program offers Scouts new challenges. 
3. Venturing offers older Scouts challenging activities with boys and girls their own age. 
4. Venturing offers additional leadership experience and training that can benefit the troop. 
5. Venturing advancement requires Venturers to teach what they have learned to other groups. 
6. Scouts ages 14 to 18 and adult leaders can be members of both a Boy Scout troop and a Venturing crew. 
7. Older Scouts in the troop, especially troop leaders, are expected to participate in both units. 
8. Venturers who are First Class and above can continue to work on Eagle Scout rank requirements. 
9. A Venturing crew associated with the troop gives Scouts something to anticipate as they get older. 
10. Venturing can help solve many of the Scoutmaster's challenges: 
    • Challenging older Scouts while continuing to attract and retain younger Scouts
    • Competing with older Scout's growing interests: cars, girls, and high school
    • Giving leadership/role model opportunities to all older Scouts
