WHAT IS VENTURE CREW?
Troop 23 started the Venture Scouts to create leadership opportunities beyond the patrols. Venture Scouts plan outings separate from the Troop activities. The entire trip is planned by the Scouts, including where they are going, planning the route to get there, menus, shopping, food preparation, etc. The outings are supervised by at least 2 adult leaders. There are 3 Venture Crew outings per scouting year.
