California's 2010 American Legion Eagle Scout of the Year
Saturday, March 27, 2010, the Venturing Officers' Association (VOA) held their first VLSC training with Venturers from 3 councils; SGVC, CIEC & OCC. Thirteen attended the training and all had a great time and made allot of new friends and contacts. Our staff of 6 (Torin, Justin, Alexander, Heaven, Travis, Dennis) was the best and most well trained crew members teaching any training I've seen in a long time.Venturing Weekend |

Crew 73 attended the Venturing Weekend sponsored by CIEC on the 23rd through the 25th of April at Camp Emerson in Idyllwild. There were several courses offered both for youth and adults.  |
Six youth members attended the VLSC, two youth and two adults attended the Wilderness Aid Course and three adults attended the Kodiak / Kodiak X Course Director's Course.
|
Everyone had a great time. There were units from at least four different Councils present. We all made some new friends and met some old ones. The weather also added a little novelty to the weekend for the end of April. There was about four to six inches of snow on the ground which we camped on. This was another exciting and productive event.
Crew 724 joins in the kick off for Adventure Base 100. At the kick off is the Chief Scout Executive, Bob Mazzuca who recognizes several members of Crew 724 with a special medallion with the logo of the Chief Scout Executive; what an honor. VOA Vice President Heaven gets the opportunity to run the Adventure Base 100 COPE course which is televised by Bob Decastro from Channel 11's Good Day LA. |

The Venturing Rendezvous was Awesome!
Why was it great? Well we had good weather, lots of participation but most of all, the Venturers enjoyed themselves and made new friends. How did this happen? Five Crews came together to take part in the development of the Rendezvous. The part each Crew played was:
And Dennis Matthews did the cooking! In addition to having several Crews take responsibility for the activities, all the Crews were mixed so that Venturers could find out what other Crews were doing and in some cases talk about joining together for activities. That is what happens when you make new friends! In all we had over 50 participants from 10 Crews. One Crew came from as far away as Bakersfield. Another significant outcome was the selection of officers for the Council's first Venturing Officers' Association (VOA). The officers and advisors are:
With a VOA, expect more Venturing coordination to happen in SGVC this year! |
What a great weekend! September 11-13, 2009, SGVC held its first Venturing activity – Venturing Rendezvous. And I expect that the Venturing Rendezvous will become an annual event.
