Great outings and places to go for Venturing Crews:
Michigan Geocaching Organization (MiGO) in partnership with the Boy Scouts of America has organized a Venturing program with a geocaching focus.
Venturing is a youth development program of the Boy Scouts of America for young men and women who are 14 (and have completed the eighth grade) through 20 years of age.
Venturing's purpose is to provide positive experiences to help young people mature and to prepare them to become responsible and caring adults.
Venturing is based on a unique and dynamic relationship between youth, adult leaders, and organizations in their communities. Local community organizations establish a Venturing crew by matching their people and program resources to the interests of young people in the community. The result is a program of exciting and meaningful activities that helps youth pursue their special interests, grow, develop leadership skills, and become good citizens.
What our crew does is limited only by the imagination of the crew members and their adviors. Most of our activities are geocaching related. We have found caches, hid caches, attended events, hosted CITO events, went camping, went hiking, taught geocaching, made sig items, minted coins, and HAD FUN!
