Thank you ozemu

I like the way Mark explained his rating in his first reply. Some people only look at HOW MANY bad and good things there are in Scouting and never really think about how much each affects them. Sure, an unhappy parent or a scout that misbehaves can get you agitated for a while, but watching someone that YOU taught and YOU watched grow up makes you forget ALL about that feeling. I was lucky. I was 5 when my brother started Boy Scouts so I got to watch him get his merit badges and earn his ranks. I saw what it was like behind the scenes too since our parents were the Scout leaders. Then, after watching my brother work so hard for 7 years, I got to watch him get his Eagle Scout Award. Now, I am 15 so I started a Venture Crew in my town and I have all my friends in it and I speak for all of us when I say that Scouting is something EVERYBODY would enjoy. It gives you a feeling of accomplishment whether you got something or you watched someone else get something because of you. Scouting is a solid 20 in my opinion.

Has anyone heard of a camp that is mainly for Venture Crews? If Venture Crew is part of the Boy Scouts of America, why doesn't it have its own summer camps? Boy Scouts do, so why shouldn't we? I understand the male/female problem there, but I am sure that with a bit of thinking from the camp directors and the crew leaders, there would not be a problem.
