More exciting news to follow:
I'm looking at starting a Venture Program. I need some adult volunteers to make this happen.
Venturing Program is a youth development program of the Boy Scouts of America for young men and women who are 14 (and have completed the eighth grade) through 20 years of age. Venturing's purpose is to provide positive experiences to help young people mature and to prepare them to become responsible and caring adults.

Venturing is based on a unique and dynamic relationship between youth, adult leaders, and organizations in their communities. Local community organizations establish a Venturing crew by matching their people and program resources to the interests of young people in the community. The result is a program of exciting and meaningful activities that helps youth pursue their special interests, grow, develop leadership skills, and become good citizens.

Venturing crews can specialize in a variety of vocations or hobby interests.
Please contact me if you’re interested in helping me get this program started. I would like to start this after the New Year, 2009. If your son or daughter is interested in this please contact me as well. Thank you!
