What is 14+ Venture?
Additional outings/add-ons are planned for Scouts age 14+ who wish to challenge themselves. Some of these outings may require certain ranks, experience, or permission. Signups and announcements are made in person at meetings. Our Venture outings have included biking trips, more challenging hikes, and winter camping. See Mr. Mario for more information.
