Venturing Officers Association

The purpose of the Venturing Officers’ Association (VOA) is to provide support and guidance to maintain and grow the Venturing program. VOAs collaborate with other committees in providing training for Venturers and Advisors, programming for crews, and monthly or quarterly forums to bring together youth and Advisors.

What is a Venturing Officers’ Association? A team of officers (youth president and vice presidents for administration, program, and communication) supported by an Advisor, keeps the VOA organized. This forum provides a voice for youth to help strengthen the Venturing program. A VOA holds several meetings during the year and hosts a few events that help to bring the crews, districts, councils, or areas together. Each event may have a different goal: training, adventure, recognition, fun—or all of the above.

How Do VOAs Operate? VOAs operate in many ways like a crew does. A crew plans activities that are fun and of interest to the members of the crew. A crew plans activities that build a well-balanced program of adventure, leadership, and service. The VOA does the same things, but it offers a program and leadership opportunities that extend beyond an individual crew. And VOAs, like your crew, make sure that everyone has fun as a key part of the program.
