The new Venturing
Silver Award is available to all Venturing youth members of the Boy Scouts
of America. Its purpose is to provide a pathway for personal development;
encourage Venturers to learn, grow, and serve; and recognize the high level
of achievement of Venturers who acquire Venturing skills.
Requirements
Venturers must be
proficient in emergency preparedness (including standard first aid, CPR, and
Safe Swim Defense); participate in Ethics in Action; complete the new Venturing
Leadership Skills Course; earn the Venturing Gold Award; and earn at least
one of the five Venturing Bronze awards.
Procedure
Venturers work with
their Advisors to establish a plan of action for earning the Silver Award.
Venturers can choose to work on the requirements alone or with other Venturers
as in a crew activity. Venturers can work on requirements in the Bronze Award
program, Gold Award program, and Silver Award program simultaneously. They
could also work on each program separately. It's up to the Venturer and Advisor
as to how they earn the award. After completion of all requirements, the
Silver candidate will go through a formal review with Venturers and adults
from the crew.
The Medal
The Venturing Silver
medal features a superimposed eagle over a compass dial. It also has a red,
white, and blue background behind the eagle. The medal is worn suspended from
a green and white ribbon, which is suspended from a silver Venturing bar.
A cloth knot will be available starting in 1999.
