..stepping out of the box!

Welcome ...

to the web site that will bring you all the updated information for Kodiak and Kodiak X.  Kodiak is the Venturing youth leadership courses offered in an exciting and challenging atmosphere using whatever high-adventure resources you have available.  Your crew or council can offer a course backpacking or rafting down a river away from your council or in your local area.  Kodiak teaches leadership skills in a fun way that is internalized by the Venturers who take the course.  In other words, it is a challenging high-adventure trek with a simple and fun leadership course included.  Kodiak is not taught indoors or in a classroom; it is done completely outdoors using nature's examples of leadership.

If you would like some Kodiak clip art or other Venturing clip art, please visit The Hiker's Clip art.

You can get very nice unofficial Kodiak and Kodiak X strips designed like the VLSC strip by visiting The Hiker's Scout Store.
