Advancement in Venturing is not a single, simple path like advancement in the Boy Scout program. It contains a main branch of five Bronze Awards, the Gold Award, and the Silver Award, the higest award in Venturing. The program also offers "Expert-level" awards: the Ranger Award, the Quest Award, and the TRUST Award, all of which are expansions and 'sequels' to a particular Bronze Award. There is also an advancement path specifically for Sea Scouts which leads to its highest award, the Quartermaster Award.
