Our CO has 2-yr old Venturing Crew that, basically, exists only on paper.
The advisor is fully trained and dedicated, but the crew has not met or done anything since it started.
Last week I got a phone call from a gentleman asking about the crew.
All I basically knew about him was that he was a SA in another nearby troop.
His son just finished his Eagle project (turns 18 in Jan.)
Apparently, he was going to start a crew but thought he'd inquire about getting involved with ours.
In addition to his wife, son, and daughter there are other youth interested in backpacking.
I am very excited about this.
His Scouting background:
Eagle Scout (2 palms)
Philmont Ranger (3 yrs)
I'm assuming he knows a thing or two about backpacking.
