All
requirements for all awards require that Venturers do work as Venturers.
As an example, a Scout who has earned Backpacking merit badge must
do all that is required for the Backpacking elective for the Ranger
Award as a Venturer, a Scout who has earned Personal Fitness merit
badge must do all that is required for Physical Fitness elective as
a Venturer.
Some requirements
may require some sort of certification, such as Scuba Open-Water Diver,
American Red Cross Standard First Aid, or BSA Lifeguard. This certification
may be used regardless of when it was earned as long as the certification
is still current.
Venturers may
receive multiple credit for requirements in Venturing. For example,
obtaining the Standard First Aid certification may be used for the
Ranger core requirement, as well as the Silver first aid requirement.
Venturers who are also members of a Boy Scout troop may receive credit
for work done simultaneously toward Boy Scout advancement and Venturing
advancement. An example would be for getting dual credit for hikes
for the Backpacking merit badge and Backpacking elective. Venturers
may not receive multiple credit when required to do a tabletop display
or presentation.
