Ranger Award

Outdoor/high adventure is the largest and fastest growing interest in the Boy Scouts of America.  High adventure and the outdoors have always been of interest of young Americans as well as an important part of the BSA program.  Because of the attraction of high adventure, the Ranger Award is available t Venturing youth members of the Boy Scouts of America.

The purpose of the award is to:  encourage Venturers to achieve a high level of outdoor skills proficiency; recognize achievement of this high level of outdoor skills proficiency; provide a path for outdoor/high adventure skills training; establish Rangers as a highly trained leadership resource for Crews, Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, and the community.

The Ranger Award exemplifies a challenging high-level outdoor/high adventure skills advancement program.  Once earned, it will identify a Ranger as an elite outdoorsman who is skilled at a variety of outdoor sports and interests, trained in outdoor safety, and ready to lead or assist others in activities.  Rangers can be a  great program asset to Cub Scout packs and Boy Scout troops.
