Venturing Territory 3

Congratulations to the 2026 Territory 3 Venturing Leadership Award (VLA) Recipients: Omar Jimenez and Henry Lloyd!

The Territory VLA is presented to Venturing youth and adults who display exceptional dedication, give outstanding leadership & service to Venturing at the Territory level, and exemplify the Scout Oath & Scout Law. Note: recipient biographies will be published in our May 2026 End of the Term Newsletter.

Shoot. Climb. Explore. Plan Your Own Adventure.
This is not your typical week at camp. Older Youth Adventure Week at Camp Hi-Sierra is built for Scouts ages 14 to 21 who want more challenge, more independence, and experiences you will not find during a regular summer camp session. From advanced shooting sports to real rock climbing to a youth-planned adventure day at Pinecrest, this week is active, hands-on, and built around you.
