Stu Sharp: The
Committee has previously voted to pursue the possibility of starting a Venture
Crew affiliated with Troop 10. The
timetable suggested would be to try and get this started in September 2001.
With
this decided, Stu Sharp has asked the Committee to come up with some concrete
Attendance Requirements that can be presented to the potential Venture Crew
Scouts as they get started.
MOTION: “To allow Stu Sharp et al, to offer
a short (1 – 2 day/night) trip off Bartle Reservation during Troop 10’s session
there July 1st – 10th, 2001. The purpose of this trip would be to formulate the details of a
Venture Program. This would be offered
to any Venture Age Scout or potential Venture Scout and their fathers.”
Motion
passed unanimously…
MOTION: “Venture Crew attendance
requirements to meet Mic-O-Say ‘minimums’ and placement on future ballots would
be as follows: (note the Order of the Arrow requirements as well)
CAMPOUTS
1)
The Venture Crew
would plan and offer 3 outings during the first school year. (2001-2002)
2)
These 3 outings
can be used towards the 5 campouts currently required by Troop 10 for Mic-O-Say
consideration.
3)
The remaining 2
outings MUST be regular Troop 10 monthly campouts. (Order of the Arrow functions, Mic-O-Say functions, summer
activities and other school year activities will not count towards the 2
regular campout requirement.)
4)
These nights of
camping will count 1 for 1 towards the 15 nights of camping (over a 2 year
period) required for consideration in the Order of the Arrow.
MEETINGS
1)
The Venture Crew
would plan and hold approximately 2 meetings per month during the first school
year. (2001-2002)
2)
These meetings
would count 1 for 1 towards the 55% regular Troop 10 meeting requirement.
3)
Venture Crew
members would still be required to attend 100% of all Troop 10 and Eagle Scout
Courts of Honor (unless excused in advance by the Troop 10 Scoutmaster)
ADDITIONAL
CRITERIA
Venture Crew members will
be reminded that the above attendance requirements are “minimums” and will only
ensure that a Scout will be placed on the ballot for consideration. Inclusion and elevation in the Tribe of Mic-O-Say
has certain strong ‘subjective’ criteria that are considered by the Troop 10
Committee prior to Summer Camp each year.
Working with the ‘younger & weaker’ is just one of these criteria.”
Motion
passed unanimously…
