Whether you're an experienced Venturing Advisor or new to the program, the Venturing Advisor Guidebook explains how Venturing works and answers these questions: What does Venturing really mean? What are the responsibilities of adult Advisors and youth leaders? What does it mean to share leadership as an Advisor? How will being an Advisor benefit me or others? How do I support youth as they plan a fun program that fulfills their goals and interests? How do I know that I am effectively carrying out my responsibilities as an Advisor? Where can I get practical help for things that we need to do in our crew?
This is a very good book with a lot of information in it, especially compared to the last book. About half way through as I was thinking about all the good information in it it hit me that this book is completely full of interesting information. I'm going to go around and introduce this book to others and I'm going to challenge them that if they get the book and read it and don't find any information that is useful to them I will buy the book back from them for what they paid for it. It really is one of the better books that I've read that's been put out by the BSA.
Ok I've done something that I don't often do and that is rate this book a 5 star. As I've read and re-read it because of things I'm doing I'm finding that this is an excellent resource.
