Way to Rock Crew 448

Hey Crew,

We had a great turn out for the lock-in last night at the Austin Rock Gym. Chelsea, John Michael, Star, Kate, Liz, and myself were able to make it and it was a lot of fun with some great learning involved. John Michael did the Mountaineering elective for his Ranger Award and the rest of us climed and bouldered. Thanks to Mrs. Davis and Mr. Heldstab for supervising the event.

Happy New Year Crew 448

As we kick off 2014 with our first meeting of the year, I'd like to give information about what the crew did during Christmas break. 3 members of our crew and 1 advisor went out to Green Dickson to participate in NYLT. Chelsea, Alex, and Mr. Heldstab were staff members and I myself went through as a participants. 10 members of the crew went out to Sipapu ski lodge in New Mexico. Both adventures went very successfully and I will be posting pictures of these trips very soon.

Crew 448

Venturing is a youth development program of the Boy Scouts of America for young men and women who are 14 years of age OR 13 years of age and have completed the eighth grade and under 21 years of age.

 

Venturing’s purpose is to provide positive experiences to help young people mature and to prepare them to become responsible and caring adults.

Boy Scout Advancement in Crew 448

If a registered Scout in a troop or team earns the First Class rank, he is permitted to continue earning Boy Scout advancement recognition as a Venturer until his 18th birthday.

If a Venturer maintains dual registration, the Scoutmaster and crew Advisor must determine which leader will manage the youth’s advancement. It is best if this falls to the unit leader where the young man will be completing the “active” and position of responsibility requirements. When crew Advisors accept the advancement management responsibility, they should have a good knowledge of the Boy Scout advancement program and requirements, and be prepared to conduct the unit leader conference and arrange for boards of review.

 

If you have questions about this, you should talk to one of the Venturing advisors.
