After much consideration I am creating a Venture Crew to augment the experiences of my older boys in the Troop. As a Scoutmaster/Cubmaster with over 14 years in scouting I believe BSA and my council knows quite a bit about me. Then WHY OH WHY am I and all my scouts that are simply going to dual register in the new crew as well as the troop required to complete new applications? We have an NSA that can track every phone call I have made over the last 3 years but BSA National can't come up with a simplified process to simply co-register us into the Crew? You start to wonder if National actually likes mounds and mounds of paperwork, but I know my council office would greatly prefer not to process another 15 applications with the exact same data they have had already for years.
