Venturing 2008 marks the 10th anniversary of the Venturing Program. In order to celebrate the CR-4 Venturing Officers Association has designated two events as Area-wide celebrations: Sea Scout Rendezvous August 15-17, Alum Creek Area 4 Venturing Camporee, October 17 -19, Camp Birch, Yellow Springs Ohio (south of Springfield), Tecumseh Council Put these dates on your calendar. The Area 4 Venturing Camporee is being planned by the CR-4 VOA and Tecumseh Council. We will send out more details after the first of the year, but put the date on your Crew calendar. If you do not qualify in 2007, let's make this a high priority in 2008. It's not a priority in order to get another award, but it is a measure of offering a quality Venturing program.
