Venturing A New Program
On August 1, 1998 the Boy Scouts
of America launched the new Venturing program. Current outdoor, youth
ministry and hobby Explorer posts will become Venturing crews or Sea Scout
ships. Career Explorer posts will be moved to the Learning for Life
program.
The decision will be made on the basis of special interest
codes. Those special interests which are primarily workplace - based
have been designated as Exploring. Those special interests which
are primarily outdoor, youth ministry, or hobby-based have been designated
as Venturing.
Explorer posts will receive com
- munications from the National
Council related to their specialty and may be invited to specialty conferences
such as the National Law enforcement Conference. Venturing crews will
receive information related to their specialty.
Venturing uses six experience areas
to promote character development, leadership development, and personal fitness
for every member.
The Venturing Oath: As a Venturer,
I promise to help stregthen America, to be faithful in my religious duties,
to help others, and to seek truth, fairness, and adventure
in our world.
Venturing is for boys and girls at
least 14 years of age and have completed the eighth grade or 15 years of
age and not yet 21.

National Order of the Arrow Conference
Thousands of Arrowmen converged
on the campus of Iowa State University in Ames. The conference took
place August 2-6, 1998.
Theme for the conference was "Memories
of the Past - A Vision for the Future". From the time the curtain
rose for the opening until it closed for the last time, NOAC was a nonstop,
action - packed event for all Arrowmen. Activities include OA
Jeopardy, training, ceremonies evaluations and American Indian events.
There were also shows and patch trading.
Arrowmen attending from Wahinkto
Lodge 199 were Jerry, Brenda and Jason White, Robbie Archer, Robert
and Luke Burnett and Lodge Chief Louis Torres.
