Venturing

Want to know about Venture Crews? it's all on this Fact Sheet prepared by the Boy Scouts of America.

John Willemain (Roundtable Commissioner) and Scott Fletcher (TLC Advisor) along with Matt Tassinari invite you and your Crew officers to join us on the fourth Monday of each month from 7:00 – 8:30 PM at the Chicopee Public Library on Front Street in Chicopee (not far from the Scout Service Center).

This year we will be using an all-new format for the roundtables. We’ll begin with a discussion of a problem that is relevant to any crew as you try to operate a successful program. This discussion will include an opportunity for you to share your successes and to learn about other crews’ endeavors regarding the issue at hand. In addition to this problem, we will also be presenting a skill topic that will be useful to most crews.

Current plans for upcoming Roundtables include:

Date	Discussion Topic	Skills Topic
January 28	How do we afford all of our crew activities?	Map Skills
February 25	There are personality clashes in my crew. How can I address these issues?	Communicating with the crew
March 24	Why do the officers need to meet?	Facilitating team building games
April 28	How measure the effectiveness of our crew leadership?	Healthy debate
May 19	What can we do to properly recognize the accomplishments of our crew members?	Geocaching
June 23	TBD	TBD

If you have a discussion topic or a skill topic that you would like us to explore at a future roundtable, please send your suggestions to either John or Scott at the addresses listed below.
