Venturing Code |
As a Venturer, I believe that America's strength lies in our trust in God and in the courage, strength, and traditions of our people. I will, therefore, be faithful in my religious duties and will maintain a personal sense of honor in my own life. I will treasure my American heritage and will do all I can to preserve and enrich it. I will recognize the dignity and worth of all humanity and will use fair play and goodwill in my daily life.; I will acquire the Venturing attitude that seeks truth in all things and adventure on the frontiers of our changing world.

 Venturing is a part of the Boy Scouts of America. It is open to young men and women who are 14 (and have completed the eighth grade) through 20 years of age. It gives these young men and women the opportunity to become involved in the Adventures of Scouting, but also prepares them for the future by putting in their hands the leadership of the program.
Unlike Boy Scouts, this is not about Merit Badges and Rank Advancements. Yes, there are awards that can be earned, the Venturing has the ultimate goals of Ranger, Trust, Quest, and the Silver Award available to those who wish to pursue it. But Venturing is more about getting out and facing challenges, being active in area of which the Crew members share a common interest. Its about getting out and having fun.
In 2012, we are planning on going Ice Skating, taking part in 2012 adVenture Race, attending the Centennial of Sea Scouts in Springfield IL, the St Louis Fall Fun Rally, as well as Venturing Camp, and maybe more Geocaching. Click HERE to see how you can get involved!

 Now this was fun! Yes it was cold, but the temperatures were rising slowly from earlier in the day. Yes, this was the only place in Kansas City that had snow on the ground, and oh man, did they have snow! The Heart of America Council VOA did a great job putting this event together, and Snow Creek graciously let the last minute participants enjoy the group discount.
We keep telling people that Venturing is not only about teaching our youth to become great leaders and members of their community, but its FUN! This was the perfect opportunity to introduce new Crew members and those considering becoming Crew members to exactly what we've been talking about. It was also a great event for allowing the leaders and parents to interact in a great, fun activity with their youth! I think that the leaders that hit the slopes had as much fun as the kids did!
So, how about this idea? Annual Event? Recruiting Event?
