NST-1 RAVE – April 21-23, 2023

Good afternoon NST 1 Venturing Leaders,

We are less than a month out, and the Registration Link is now available for Really Awesome Venturing Experience (RAVE). Please distribute this to all Crews, Ships, and Posts in your council, as we hope to have an Awesome turnout to celebrate 25 years of Venturing.

We are also in need of volunteers. Specifically, we need people with NRA certifications to help with shooting sports. Muzzleloading is the most dire need. There is also a need for volunteers with Archery Level 1 or 2 certification. Outside of shooting sports, we need kitchen volunteers. To sign up for any of these, please reply to this email and I will get you in touch with the proper people.

The registration link is https://scoutingevent.com/606-rave23. Registration will last until Sunday, April 17th. A scannable QR Code is also on the attached flyer to make promotion in your home council easier.
