Just turn on the Airport card which is done via the Airport menu item you'll find somewhere near the right-top corner of your screen. Once turned on it automatically detects and lists the networks in its range.

If you're talking about wardriving type activities, just do a Google search on it to find the necessary OS X software for such a thing.
