Crew Organization and Leadership When an organization agrees to be a sponsor in Venturing, it agrees to recruit adult leaders: an Advisor, one or more associate Advisors, and a crew committee (3+). These leaders must be adult men and women at least 21 years of age, who will guide the crew.
Adult - Venturer Team The elected Venturer officers work hand-in-hand with the adult Advisors and committee members. Activity chairs work with adult consultants (from crew committee, parents or other qualified adults) Cooperation and teamwork between adults and young adults are essential to the success of Venturing
