Venturing Michigan Crossroads Council The Offical Venturing Page of the Michigan Crossroads Council Venturing is a new “old” program of the Boy Scouts of America.

Originally part of the Exploring Division, it finally came into its own in 1998. It has become the fastest growing program of the BSA. Young adults have found through the Venturing program the outlet they have been looking for in their age group. There are continued misconceptions about what Venturing is all about. Venturing is not for young boys and girls but rather for young adults. They are able to do more and go further as a Venturer or Sea Scout in a Venturing crew or Sea Scout ship. Venturing provides positive experiences to help young people mature and to prepare them to become responsible and caring adults. Venturing provides the skills needed for young adults to make ethical choices, experience a fun program full of adventure and challenges, acquire leadership skills, and to take advantage of opportunities to advance their skills and knowledge in the areas of high adventure, sports, arts, hobbies, religious life, and Sea Scouting. Venturing is a youth development program of the Boy Scouts of America for young men and women who are 14 years of age OR 13 years of age and have completed the eighth grade and under 21 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.

Scouting U Announces a New Hazardous Weather Course - Weather Smart

Weather can change in an instant. Are you prepared to make the right decision when it does? Whether it’s a campout, hike, service project, or high-adventure trek, weather is key to planning a safe Scouting activity.

This new course gives leaders practical guidance to:
• Monitor changing weather conditions
• Understand watches and warnings
• Recognize severe weather risks
• Develop emergency action plans
• Know when and how to take protective action

From thunderstorms and extreme temperatures to flooding, severe storms, and hurricanes, the course focuses on real-world situations Scouting leaders may encounter.

Take the course before your next outdoor adventure and become Weather Smart!

You will be able to access this replacement course at the BSA Learn Center, https://training.scouting.org/
