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. The aims of the Boy Scouts of America are to build character,develop citizenship, and foster personal fitness.The Venturing methods listed below have been carefully designed to achieve these aims and meet the needs of young adults. • Leadership.All Venturers are given opportunities to learn and apply _ proven leadership skills.A Venturing crew is led by elected crew officers. The Venturing Leadership Skills - Course is taught annually at Rancho a Alegre and is designed for all -- Venturers and helps teach them to k{ lead effectively. 't • Group Activities.Venturing activities are interdependent group ;f experiences in which success is -- •y�%` ti- •` .- dependent on the cooperation of all. sem; • Adult Association.The youth officers lead the crew.The officers work closely with adult Advisors and other adult leaders in a spirit of partnership.The adults serve in a"shadow"leader capacity. • The Ideals.Venturers are expected to know and live by the Venturing Oath and Code.They promise to be faithful in religious duties,treasure their American heritage, help others, and seek truth and fairness. • Environmental Stewardship.Venturing's emphasis on the environment helps provide team-building opportunities,new meaningful experiences,practical leadership application,and lifelong memories to young adults. • Teaching Others.All of the Venturing awards require Venturers to teach what they have learned to others.When they teach others often,Venturers are better able to retain the skill or knowledge taught,they gain confidence,in their ability to speak and relate to others,and they acquire skills that can benefit them for the rest of their lives as a hobby or occupation. l Mission Statement and Purpose The mission of the Los Padres Council is to prepare young people to make . ethical choices over their lifetime by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law.
