Venturing is usually more relaxed than Boy Scouts. It's more activity-focused and less merit-focused. A lot of crews are specialzed in one area, such as backpacking, hiking, water activities, etc. My crew went hiking for a week in the White Mountains last summer, and next summer we're going to Philmont. Robotics could probably also count.

Exploring is also under BSA, according to Wikipedia. The last paragraph of the article explains the split between Venturing and Exploring (I'm not familiar with that program, so I won't go trying to explain stuff I don't know about).
