Venturing Bronze Award

As an individual Venturer, you probably have many interests or would like to have more. Because of that desire on your part and to give you a pathway to many different experiences, the Venturing Bronze Award is wide open to you. You can even earn all five Bronze awards. It's up to you!

The Venturing Bronze awards are

• Sports
• Religious Life
• Arts and Hobbies
• Outdoor
• Sea Scout

Requirement

Earn at least one of the five Venturing Bronze awards.

Procedure

Bronze candidates may have their crew Advisor or a specialty consultant approve or sign off on that completed requirement. Requirements for the Arts and Hobbies, Sports, and Religious Life Bronze awards can be found in the Venturing/Ranger Guidebook, BSA Supply No. 33494. Complete requirements for the Sea Scout Bronze award can be found in the Sea Scout Manual (No. 33239C). There is no committee review for Venturing Bronze awards.

Bronze Award Device

When you complete the requirements for a particular Bronze Award, you will receive a Bronze Award device, which is a colorful, campaign-style ribbon that may be worn on the Sea Scouting or Venturing uniform above the left shirt pocket. If all five are earned, all five may be worn on the uniform. The Bronze ribbon has an icon representing the area it was earned in superimposed on the ribbon. A certificate is also available.

Earning the Sea Scouting Quartermaster Award or Venturing Ranger Award requires a greater challenge; each has a distinctive award of its own. You can earn all five Bronze awards as well as the Quartermaster and Ranger awards.
