Planning on My First Venturing Activity

[mt_goodrich]

The Longhorn Council is sponsoring a "Mountain Man Rendezvous" January 1st thru 3rd. This is only for Venturers (and they have invited Scouts 14 years of age and above).

The Venturing Crew we are putting together will be attending and we have eight signed up, not counting four adults. There will be over 30 events that have to do something along the lines of what Mountain Men did way back when. We will be trying to get as much period clothing as possible, but also know it is going to be cold (yes...even in Texas it gets cold).

Here are some of the events:

Rock Climbing, Rappelling, Archery, Flint Knapping, Arrow Making, Double Ball, Double Ball Making, Flint N Steel, Bow N Drill, Char Cloth, 2 Man Buck Sawing, Caper Tossing, Stick Pull’N, Stump Pulling, River Crossing, Knots, Travios Pull, LTO-OTL Puzzle, Trust Fall, Spider Webb, True North, Wildcat Eye, As a Crow Fly’s, Cannon, Bullet Casting, Black Powder Shoot’n, Knife Throwing, Tomahawk’N, Black Smithing, Service Project, Buck Skinner Model Camp, Trading Blanket, Camp Fire Show’s, Awesome Collectors Patch, Native American Dancing, Vespers Trail, and for Bragging Rights, The Colter Run !

You know it is going to be serious when they are requiring a Class 3 Medical form for the Youth, as well as the adult leaders.
