The Summit

Venturing Summit - August 12-14, 2011

The Venturing Summit is the end-of-the-Summer activity for all Venturers, Sea Scouts and your friends who are thinking about joining the program.
 
Make it a full weekend, just a day, or a night and a day activity.  Camp if you want or just enjoy a long summer day.  Located near Navasota, Texas at Bovay Scout Ranch, the Venturing Summit offers you the chance to relax, do as much, or as little as you want, visit with old friends and make new friends, enjoy meals prepared for you, and of course, engage in a lot of fun activities.
 
There will be a full slate of aquatic activities – small boat sailing and rowing, the swimming pool, and more.  Just outside the air-conditioned dining hall will be field sports like kick-ball and volleyball, vintage base ball, and tomahawk and knife throwing also!   Blackpowder will be there too, so bring $5 for every 5 shots you want to aim for.  Geocashing is bigger and better this year with even more candy and additional challenges.  Game on!  And remember, we kick-off Friday night with the “Dive in Movie” at the pool and by popular request – the pool will be open on Saturday night. 

If you are interested in a leadership position in the Venturing Officers Association then the Summit is the place for your campaigning with elections on Saturday.  Elections will be held on Saturday for the offices of Council Venturing President, Vice-President of Program, and Vice-President of Administration.  We will follow the procedures outlined in the VOA By-Laws.  Be sure you bring your VOA nomination form (signed by your Crew / Ship Advisor).
 
For adult leaders, there will be a Venturing Leader Specigic Training (VLST) starting at 9am in the Safari room.

Saturday evening is a very special time.  There is the annual awards banquet where your peers and leadership will be presented with recognition for their work in the Venturing and Sea Scout programs.  At the banquet the new Venturing Officer’s Association leadership will be announced.
