Gold Award

The Venturing Gold Award replaced the Exploring Gold Award when introduced in 1996.  It was extremely well received and valued by those who earned it.  One new requirement has been added to create the new Venturing Gold Award which is to earn the Venturing Bronze Award.

The Venturing Gold Award program was developed to recognize the significant accomplishments in a Venturer's life as he or she has proven outstanding performance in a broad spectrum of activities.  These activities relate to Venturing's six experience areas of leadership, citizenship, social, outdoor, service, and fitness.  It will challenge and motivate Venturers over an extended period.

It will provide a favorable image of the Venturing program among youth, parents, schools, and our communities.  It will offer challenging and stimulating opportunities for Venturers to develop and achieve personal goals in the areas of leadership, character development, and personal fitness.
