Site News: Site Updates & New Ranks/Awards

August 9, 2014 By Crew Advisor Leave a Comment

We are slowing getting the site up and running in an attempt to get it functional before the scouting season starts. To date we have added pages which contain:

  • The History of Venturing
  • The Venturing Oath (replaced by Scout Oath)
  • The Venturing Code (replaced by Scout Law?).
  • And the requirements for the new awards that took effect on May 1st of this year.

New Rank Requirements & Award System

First let’s just right to the point and explain what the new rank requirements and their corresponding awards are replacing.  Only the following are being replaced:

  • Venturing Bronze Award
  • Venturing Gold Award
  • Venturing Silver Award

These were simply awards that progressed with the Silver being the highest.  Under the new program, these are actual ranks youth can achieve that have a corresponding award with them. They are:

  • Venturing Award
  • Discovery Award
  • Pathfinder Award
  • Summit Award

What will *NOT* be going away:

  • The Ranger Award
  • Quest Award
  • TRUST Award
  • Quartermaster Award (Sea Scouting)
  • STEM/NOVA Program
  • COPE Program

Additionally, the new handbooks and leader materials will have all the information

HANDBOOKS

Unfortunately the new materials appear to be delayed yet again.  Originally due out in June/July they were pushed to late July, then mid/late August and now there is conflicting statements saying early September.  The materials that will be released and a summary of what they will contain are:

  • Handbook for Venturers
    • Part 1: Venturing Essentials
    • Part 2: What Venturers do: areas of program emphasis (adventure, leadership, service, and personal development)
    • Part 3: Planning and leading adventure and your crew
  • Venturing Advisor Guidebook
    • Part 1: Venturing Essentials, including Venturing pedagogy (i.e., experiential education and youth development)
    • Part 2: Advising youth (i.e., how the program operates through Venturing’s methods and areas of program emphasis; how to advise and support the youth who design and lead the program)
    • Part 3: Program Resources and Administration
  • Venturing Awards and Requirements Book
    • Focus on support for TRUST, Quest, Ranger awards (requirements and resource materials) as well as a compendium of additional programs of interest to Venturers…
