The foundation of the Venturing program is the A.L.P.S. model. Did you know the S in A.L.PS. stands for Service? One of our crews adopted 3 sections of road and spent 2.5 hours in the crazy St. Louis heat picking up trash, and filled several trash bags.

Food you know you can create and wear a custom crew patch in your green uniform? Pretty cool way to show off what makes your crew unique.

Showcase your crew’s interest and your group identity by developing a crew-specific patch!

Venturing Crews may design and wear a cloth emblem on the right sleeve, (right sleeve position 2 in the picture), that identifies the crew and their area of interest. You may only wear the national Venturing emblem, your crew-developed emblem, or the Council Venturing Officers' Association (VOA)/National Venturing Cabinet patch if a VOA Officer. Only one of these patches may be worn here.

The egg drop was egg-citing. Some eggs survived, most did not.

We had so much fun getting Swift ready for the summer. The thunderstorm mint have cut into our swim time, but we still had an awesome time. Especially on the waterfalls at the repelling cliffs.
