SGVC Venturing

      (above images will usually change when refreshing or returning to this page)

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.  (Venturing Rendezvous information and sign up flyer)
 

SGVC Venturing Crews

The following Crews have web sites:

• Crew 7

• Crew 403

The courses being offered and helpful instructions for signing up can be obtained by visiting the PTC page in the Venturing Notebook.

If you have children that are Venturers, they can go on a Kodiak Mountain Trek while you are in class.  The trek is great training and lots of fun.

Kodiak Xpedition with Crew 7

Crew 7 spent two great weeks whitewater rafting during the summer of 2008.  The first week was on the Deschutes River in Oregon and the second was on the Flathead River in Montana.  A write up of their activity can be seen in Crews in the News on the National Venturing Youth Cabinet web site.
