Requirement
4.3.0.1. The four areas of emphasis: ALPS
Required
Adventure, Leadership, Personal Growth, Service. Each of the requirements for the Venturing ranks falls under one of the four, which is what makes the model worth knowing rather than decorative.
Notes and warnings
Tip. Worth knowing before reading any requirement, because the requirements are organised by it. If a crew cannot say which of Adventure, Leadership, Personal Growth or Service a piece of its program serves, the program is probably not delivering the rank.
