From our President Neil CoplinThe program of Venturing Crew 369 is best described as the best of what it's like to be a kid, and the best of becoming an adult. Not only does Crew 369 go camping, throw parties for the youth, take trips out of Columbus and help make new friends, it also provides youth with valuable skills in UNIX, Perl and HTML. We always keep things simple, and make them fun. Since what's the sense in learning when you're not having fun?Venturing Crew 369 participates in a variety of activities. The Crew maintains a web page with over 5.75 million hits to date, and 1000+ web pages. Each youth receives their own personal page on the site when joining. On the site the Crew maintains the Scouting the Web Award, a very prestigious award available only to scout sites. The Crew writes a monthly newsletter, produced by the youth, that is sent out internationally. Crew 369 participates in a variety of service projects throughout the year, including helping out at COSI Unmasked and St. Stephen's Community Center during their annual food drive. The Crew has given presentations at the State Fair and at iTec, where we were the only youth group there. Bi-Monthly, the Crew goes out on a camping trip to scout reservations around the state--always just for fun. Venturing Crew 369 is open to all youth 14-20 and in high school or above. Our weekly meeting is every Tuesday night at 7:30pm at the Reformation Lutheran Church, 1355 S. Hamilton Rd., Columbus, OH 43227. |
