Venturing is meant to be flexible! The Venturing Handbook states “activities or projects that are more available in your area may be substituted with your Advisor’s approval for activities shown above.”The Arts and Hobbies Bronze Award is especially flexible because Venturers have many different hobbies. The documents at the bottom of this page are a collection of alternate requirements for the Arts and Hobbies Bronze that Venturers and Advisors, like you, have created. Most of these are specific to certain interests but they can be changed to suit your needs.If you or your crew has created a set of alternate requirements you can submit them to communications-communications-coordinator@crventuring.org.
