In the late 1960's, the BBBC wanted to ensure that every youth that wanted to be in the band could also have or continue a Scouting experinece. Therefore, the BBBC sponsored Explorer Post 559 for any youth who wished to maintain their membership in the Scouting program. In the 1980's this also afforded the opportunity to include females in the band that were of Exploring age. The Exporers have now been changed into Venturers. Any female age 14-21 may join the band's Crew 559 and participate in the band. In addition any male youth age 14-21 may join, or "multiple register" in the post so they may benefit from the activities offered through the Venturing program. It is the desire of the BBBC to strengthen this vital link and encourage ALL youth of the band that are age 14 or over to be active in the post as well as the council's Venture activities.
