Troop 1333 High Adventure Activities
April 3, 2008
I am excited to announce the launch of the 1333 Venturing Crew. This is a new addition to the scouting offerings at Trinity. Venturing Crew is open to all First Class and higher scouts who are 14 years to 20 years old. As a scout in Troop 1333 you can also sign up and participate in the Venturing Crew.
Mr. Bravenec has volunteered to be the Crew Advisor. Mr.
Landry and Mr. Gerdes will assist as associate advisors. Mr. Zarella will be
the committee Chairperson leading both Troop 1333 and Crew 1333. To make
this successful we will also need adult volunteers as committee members
dedicated to the crew.
If you are interested, please plan to attend the orientation
and registration on Wednesday April 9th at 7pm. This is a great opportunity
to continue on with scouts. Please come by to hear more details and ask
questions.
