Clarifications:
- Venturing is the older-youth program of BSA, designed for the life stage of high schoolers. You can join at age 14 regardless of grade or at 13 after 8th grade.
- You need no prior Scouting experience to have a great time.
- You are not required to stay involved in a troop, nor do you need to seek approval from a troop to join. This is solely your choice.
- If you wish to pursue Eagle, you may do Star, Life, and Eagle exclusively in Venturing. If you wish to do no advancement, that is also fine. If you wish to do Venturing’s excellent rank system, that, too, is great!
Costs
BSA’s national membership fee is $85 per year ($7.08/month). This covers national membership, liability insurance, and nationwide services.
The crew currently has no official uniform, so no uniform costs.
We have a robust fundraising system and can help with any financial need.
Other situations:
- Currently a member of another Scout unit: Your Crew 863 membership is free! The national fee is only paid once no matter how many units you’re in.
- Adult: Your cost is $65/year ($5.42/month).
Activities are pay-as-you-go.
