Venturing is an inclusive program through the Boy Scouts of America for males and females aged 14-20 (or 13 and completed the 8th grade). It’s operated through Venturing Crews, which are units of youth and advisors that meet on set schedules to plan activities and events.

In June 2009; Venturing Crew 422 was officially started by Dave and Debbie Blankenship, Richard and Sheila Beatty and their sons, Kurtis and Aaron. Both Kurtis and Aaron achieved their Eagle Scout status with Troop 358. The four adults, being two men and two women are what symbolized and created the idea for the crew number of 422.

Crew 422 has a program of activities and awards designed for any youth who is a chartered and authorized member. This crew membership is open to all youths 14 years of age to 21 years of age, regardless of race, creed and religions, physical or mental challenge. The activities and operation of Crew 422 are fully sanctioned by the Boy Scouts of America. The crew operates within their guidelines and policies of Boy Scouts of America and the guidelines of the charter organization.
