What Is Aviation Career Exploring?
Aviation Career Exploring is a nationwide network of locally run clubs and posts that introduces young people to aviation careers. Exploring is a Learning for Life program implemented through local Scouting America councils and participating employers and community organizations. Aviation units may connect participants with pilots, aircraft mechanics, aerospace engineers, airport-operations staff, and other professionals through visits to airports, flight lines, manufacturing plants, flight museums, and air-traffic-control facilities. The exact activities, hosts, calendar, and capacity are set by each local unit.
The broad aviation program serves young people from sixth grade through age 20. Clubs are specifically for youth who have completed fifth grade, are at least 10, have not completed eighth grade, and are not yet 15. Posts accept youth who are at least 14 and have completed eighth grade, or are 15, through age 20. Applicants younger than 18 need parent or guardian authorization; participants age 18-20 use the adult application and must satisfy adult-participant screening and training rules.
