Scout-age youth experience dramatic physical and emotional growth. Scouting offers them opportunities to channel much of that change into productive endeavors and to find the answers they are seeking for many of their questions.
Outdoor Skills
In the outdoors, youth have opportunities to acquire skills that make them more self-reliant. They can explore canoe and hiking trails and complete challenges they first thought were beyond their ability. There is no greater teacher than the great outdoors.
Timeless Values
Scouting programs instill in youth the values found in the Scout Oath and Scout Law. Scouting helps youth develop academic skills, self-confidence, ethics, leadership skills, and citizenship skills that influence their adult lives.
Track Your Progress
Scoutbook online advancement system
Venturers can submit their ranks and awards online. You will find this method to be easy, convenient, and accurate because you will enter the information yourself. After your information is entered, Unit leaders can approve all of your earned items and it will automatically update directly into the BSA’s official youth member record.
Scouting provides youth with an opportunity to try new things, provide service to others, build self-confidence, and reinforce ethical standards. These opportunities not only help them when they are young but also carry forward into their adult lives, improving their relationships, their work lives, their family lives, and the values by which they live.
Crew 254 is a traditional scouting unit. We operate according to the BSA established Aims and Methods of Scouting. With over 35 years of scouting history behind us, Crew 254 is a well-trained member of the Scouting community. We are committed to making a difference in the Hurst-Euless-Bedford community. Venturers often participate in community service activities such as volunteering time and collecting food for the hungry.
Purpose
A goal of Venturing is to help youth develop into honorable adults. Scouting’s values can be incorporated into one’s home or school. Venturers have many opportunities to learn skills of leadership, of the outdoors, and of life. Each Venturer decides what they will learn and how quickly they will do it. As a Venturer progresses, the value of their achievements will be reinforced through recognition and accomplishments during outdoor adventures.
Our Plan
Venturing uses seven fundamental methods to meet a Venturer’s hope for fun and adventure, and to achieve Scouting’s aims of encouraging character development, citizenship, and mental and physical fitness. A Venturing crew functions best when all eight methods are employed.
