Venturing Silver Award



The Silver Award was the highest award in the Venturing program of the Boy Scouts of America from1998 through 2014. It required Venturers to first earn one of five Bronze Awards, earn the Gold Award, have one year's tenure in a crew, and fulfill requirements relating to emergency preparedness, leadership skills, and ethics-in-action.


The purpose of the Silver Award was to:

  • Provide a pathway for personal development.
  • Encourage Venturers to learn, grow and serve.
  • Recognize the high level of achievement of Venturers who acquire Venturing skills.
  • Identify trained and highly motivated Venturers who will be a training, leadership, and program resource for other Venturers, Scouts, organizations, and the community.
  • Help define Venturing.

The Eagles Nest (Eagle Award)

 As an Eagle Scout, 

 

may you spread your wings and soar to
the highest heights; leading and setting a
cheerful example of
honour, courage, loyalty and service. 

  

Eagle Scout is the highest rank attainable in the Boy Scouting program. 
The fact that a boy is an Eagle Scout has always carried with it a special significance, not only in Scouting but also as he enters higher education,
business or industry, and community service.  Not every boy who joins a
Boy  Scout troop earns the Eagle Scout rank; only about 5 percent of all
Boy Scouts do so. This represents more than 1.7 million Boy Scouts who
have earned the rank since 1912. 


Only 2 out of 100 boys that join Scouts will earn the rank of Eagle Scout. 
The title of Eagle Scout is held for life, thus giving rise to the phrase
"Once an Eagle, always an Eagle".
