Dr. Miller continues to serve as the Chairman of the Venturing Outdoor Committee. A nice unofficial patch that has been created for the anniversary is available in the Hiker's Scout Store. It is designed to be worn on the right sleeve in place of the Venturing emblem patch commonly worn there.

Dr. Richards Miller of Waynesboro, Virginia, was presented the first 10th Venturing Anniversary Henry Rifle by Bill Evans, National Associate Director, Venturing. This special edition rifle has a serial number of 01VEN10 for rifle number one, Venturing 10th anniversary. It is a Henry Big Boy, 44 mag. engraved with the designation, Founder. Dr. Miller is truly one of Venturing's founders according to Evans. Evans had been Scout Executive in Dr. Miller's council and was able to keep up the great relationship by recruiting Dr. Miller to serve as chairman of the national Outdoor Exploring committee. While serving as chairman, Dr. Miller along with Bill Evans, Larry and Donna Cunningham, Bob Soldivera, and Gary Van Roekel saw the need for a more scout-like teen program. While developing the Bronze, Gold, Silver, and Ranger advancement award programs in 1997, the BSA national executive board gave the green light to create what is now Venturing.
