Spring Venturing Event
First notice
I met with Hoosier Trails staff advisor Rick B. today, and we put down the major elements of our Council's Spring Venturing weekend; herewith, the bare bones (for the benefit of any out-of-Council folks who'd like to make plans to take part).
Hoosier Trails Council BSA (HQ: Bloomington, IN) will host a Spring Venturing weekend March 31-April 2 at Camp Louis Ernst, Dupont, IN. Cost will be $25 per person ($20 early bird special if money and forms are received in the Council office by March 17!). Cost includes food (you don't need to bring food, cook, etc.).
Louis Ernst is our Council's primitive camp, located between Madison and North Vernon, IN. You will have to bring your own camping gear. Tour permits are a must.
Registration will start at 6:00 p.m. Friday. We'll get things started with crackerbarrel and general info meeting at 9:00 p.m.
Saturday's program will feature five different sessions/activities drawn from the five Venturing program areas (Arts & Hobbies, Outdoor, Sports, Religious Life, Sea Scouting). There will also be a Leaders Roundtable and training aids for how to plan superactivities. The day will finish up with indoor games (including the April Fools Parade/crazy hat contest, the duct tape fashion show -- a perennial favorite, and other such foolery), then a "stomp."
Sunday morning, there will be a chapel service for those remaining overnight, with dismissal by about 9:00 a.m.
If you would like more info, reply to this post or check out the Hoosier Trails Council website. I'll have more info later, too.
