Venture Crew 169

---

Dear future Venturers,

All scouts in Troop 169 or any troop with a 1st class rank or higher and who have reached their 14th birthday or have completed 8th grade are eligible to join. We do require any venture scouts in our crew to still remain active in their troops.

Venturing is an exciting addition to the scouting experience for our older scouts that want to plan, execute, and lead high adventures in the outdoors. Venture Crews differ from the Troop format - focusing less on merit & rank achievements and more on testing their leadership skills by planning, executing and leading, fun and successful events. Venturers brainstorm and investigate ideas, plan training, transportation, lodging, activities, and create a budget for each trip all with adult (Advisor) guidance through the process to ensure a safe and enjoyable outing.
