The Venturing Silver Award is the pinnacle of the Venturing program, developing from the precepts of the Gold Award. The Silver Award focuses on the three principles of leadership, ethics, and emergency preparedness. Its purpose is to provide a pathway for personal development; encourage Venturers to learn, grow, and serve; and recognize the high level of achievement of Venturers who acquire Venturing skills.
After completion of the Venturing Silver Award, a medal and a knot is awarded that is worn above the left pocket of the uniform for daily wear. This award may be awarded at a crew recognition ceremony (similar to a Boy Scout Court of Honor), organized by the youth Vice President - Administration. This award may be presented more than once; it may be awarded again at a school or other venues to promote awareness within the community.
The photo to the right shows the:
- Venturing Silver Award medal.
- The Venturing Silver Award knot worn above the left pocket of the uniform for daily wear.
Venturing awards include:
- Sports Bronze Award
- Religious and Community Life Bronze Award
- Arts and Hobbies Bronze Award
- Outdoor Bronze Award
- Sea Scout Bronze Award

In addition, four of the five bronze awards fulfill partial requirements for Venturers continuing on and earning expert-level awards:
- The Sports Bronze Award requirements are part of the Quest Award.
- The Religious and Community Life Bronze Award part of the TRUST Award.
- The Outdoor Bronze Award part of the Ranger Award.
- The Sea Scout Bronze Award is a duplicate of the Sea Scout Ordinary rank requirements, and is necessary on the trail to earning the Quartermaster Award.
History
When the Boy Scouts of America introduced the Explorer program (predecessor to Venturing) in 1950, the Silver Award program was the advancement program for older Boy Scouts. The award was restyled in 1954 and awarded through 1958 when the Explorer Program was renamed the Exploring program and advancement was dropped. Air Explorers continued to be able to earn this award through 1964.
The award was re-introduced in 1998 as part of Venturing and its current design is similar to its historic counterpart.
