Venturing is a division of the Boy Scouts of America for young men and women ages 14-20. It was created on August 1, 1998 to replace Exploring, another division of the BSA, after a major reorganization of that division. It includes the Sea Scouting program. It is the only BSA division which is fully co-ed. Like Boy Scouting, members recite an oath, wear a (crew determined) uniform, and go on unit-planned activities. The advancement scheme for Venturing is optional, and has an emphasis on learning and teaching skills to others. In Venturing, Youth are called "venturers", units are referred to as "crews" (or "ships" in Sea Scouting), and adult leaders are called "advisors".
