We Are Passionate About Aviation!
Aviation Exploring, an affiliate of Boy Scouts of America is part of the Learning for Life Program. It is a career education program for young men and women who are 14 (and have completed the eighth grade) through 20 years old. Their purpose is to provide experiences that help young people mature and to prepare them to become responsible and caring adults. Because of the program, explorers are ready to investigate the meaning of interdependence in their personal relationships and communities.
Exploring is based on a unique and dynamic relationship between youth and the organizations in their communities. Local community organizations initiate a specific Explorer post by matching their people and program resources to the interests of young people in the community. The result is a program of activities that helps youth pursue their special interests, grow, and develop.
Young adults involved in Exploring will:
- Gain practical knowledge of and experience in a career
- Engage in a program of activities centered on career opportunities, life skills, citizenship, character development, and leadership experience to encourage the development of the whole person
- Have opportunities to take on leadership roles
- Have a chance to learn and grow in a supportive, caring, and enjoyable environment
Exploring programs are based on five areas of emphasis:
Career Opportunities
- Develop physical and mental fitness
- Experience positive social interaction
Citizenship

- Fulfill one's responsibilities to society as a whole
- Acquire leadership skills necessary to fulfill one's responsibilities in society
