MEMBERSHIP & RECRUITING
Please talk to those of your friends whom you think might enjoy the
kinds of activities we are planning and encourage them to come join
us. During September, we may also "revisit" our decision on when to
allow boys to join the crew.
Venture Crew 477
A Venture Crew is a program unit of the Boy Scouts of America that
consists of high school aged male and female "Venturers" (aged 14
through 20) that participate in high adventure outdoor activities.
Our plan is to organize an all girl Crew at first, and then let the
members choose when they would like to invite boys to join.
Venture Crew 477 will also perform community service by supporting
the Missions programs of Kingswood United Methodist Church.
*12 and 13 year olds will be welcomed as future prospective members
and can participate in activities as guests with a Parent/Guardian.
IF YOU WISH TO JOIN the Crew, bring the registration fee of $15 for
the year, and be prepared to complete a membership application. A
copy can be downloaded on-line; bring it already completed and
signed.
