BSA Venturing Crew 331



  
 What is Venturing?

 Venturing is a youth development program of the Boy Scouts Of America for young men and women who are 13 and have completed the eighth grade, or age 14 through 20 years of age. Venturing's purpose is to provide positive experiences to help young people mature and to prepare them to become responsible and caring adults.

Venturing is based on a unique and dynamic relationship between youth, adult leaders, and organizations in their communities. Local community organizations establish a Venturing crew by matching their people and program resources to the interests of young people in the community. The result is a program of exciting and meaningful activities that helps youth pursue their special interests, grow, develop leadership skills, and become good citizens.

Venturing crews can specialize in a variety of avocation or hobby interests.  

Youth and adults who are developmentally disabled, or youth with severe physical challenges, may be considered for registration beyond the age of eligibillity for their program, 21 as a Venturer. 
Examples of conditions that, if severe, may be criteria for registration beyond the age of eligibillity include these:

1. Autism spectrum disorders
2. Blind or sight impaired
3. Deaf or hard of hearing
 4. Developmental cognitive disability
5. Developmental delay
6. Down syndrome
7. Emotional or behavioral disorder
8. Physically impaired
9. Severely multiple impaired
10.Traumatic brain injury
