THE ADVENTURERS PROGRAM
Adventurers are 14 to 17 years old. The First Officer and Second Officer, as high profile youth leaders, oversee the Adventurers program. Patrol Leaders will be selected to head each patrol.
Typically, after the common opening with kindergarten through 12th grade boys, the Adventurers meet as a group to focus on their own activities. These activities can include working on Trail Badges, although it is more common at this age level for Trailmen to work on badges outside of meetings with mentors. During meetings, Adventurers Trailmen will often focus on more complicated planning for quarterly high-adventure trips.
Adventurers Trailmen have six required trail badges targeted at the needs and abilities of older boys. Focus moves more toward servant leadership, teamwork, faith-building activities, and experiences in the community.
