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?
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.
