Venturing Update August 2014

Welcome back to the Venture’s Forum at Round Table after what should have been an exciting summer!  We look forward to hearing about some of the High Adventure Activities and achievements that your crews have accomplished.  You've all worked hard to create memorable character-building experiences for your boys.  Before those memories fade, take time with your crew to collect and assemble the photos, videos, and stories of your activities.  Make a crew photo album, journal, video, or scrapbook that everyone will be able to take with them on their journey through life and upon which they’ll be able to look back with fondness.  My own scout leader always reserved a small portion of the budget to make extra prints of photos that he took on each of our high adventure trips which we as boys placed into albums.  Today those albums are some of my most cherished possessions; they are the preserved memories of the events that shaped who I am today. Give your boys that same gift! As they face the challenges of adulthood they’ll have something that enables them to look back and remember those enriching experiences which should help to solidify the foundations of their testimonies.
