Venture Crew 00 is chartered by the Lower Upper Community Group in San Otraparte and welcomes youth who seek adventure, friendship and fun!
Venturing is an inclusive program through the Boy Scouts of America for males and females aged 14-21 (or 13 and completed the 8th grade). It’s operated through Venturing Crews, units of youth and advisors that meet on set schedules and plan activities and events for youth.
