September 11-13, 2009, San Gabriel Valley Council will be holding its first council-wide Venturing activity.  A great aspect of this activity is that youth have been involved in the planning.  For the Rendozvous, there will be four activities with competitions in each that all Venturers will participate in:
1.  Shooting
2.  Land Navagation
3.  Mountain Biking
4.  Emergency Response
The activities will be a part of a round robin with three activities on Saturday and one on Sunday.  The four groups formed will be a mix of Venturers from different Crews.  There will be competitions within groups and between groups all in the spirit of fun.  Each of the activities will provide information about the respective requirement for the Outdoor Bronze award.  (
