Empowering Youth Leadership, Connecting Crews, Building the Future of Venturing

Welcome to the Venturing Officers’ Association (VOA)

The Venturing Officers’ Association (VOA) is a youth-led leadership group dedicated to promoting and organizing exciting events, programs, and opportunities for all Venturers in the Pacific Harbors Council. The VOA provides youth Venturers with a voice and a platform to lead, collaborate, and create within our Venturing community.

We’re committed to empowering youth leaders, building strong connections between crews, and creating a unified Venturing experience that is both rewarding and impactful.

What is the VOA?

The Venturing Officers’ Association (VOA) is a group of elected youth leaders from various Venturing crews who come together to represent the voice of the youth in our council. The VOA is youth-led, with adult advisors providing guidance and support.

Our primary goals are to:

  • Provide leadership opportunities for Venturers.

  • Plan and coordinate district-wide and council-wide events and activities.

  • Strengthen the Venturing program through collaboration between crews.

  • Foster a sense of community and mentorship within the Venturing program.
