Our relationship existed long before the idea of starting a venture crew. It it will last far beyond. But, being a member of the leadership is important to him. I just don't want to cause trouble by joining. We are formally engaged, and our families where brought into making that decision so their 100% behind us. the links talk of sleeping arrangements and such of married couples. Even when we are married I have no problem with sleeping with the other girls. That doesnt bother me. I just want to join with him. we both do medal work with his uncle who runs the Madel work badge. He is a hobby blacksmith and we are apprentices. We do demostraciones and such but in ventures will be helping run the merit badge station at the portable forge. Something that believe it or not I'm better at then him. By spring when the crew starts up he will be 21 and an adult leader. I will not. I will still be 19. where not getting married to soon so that's really flown out the door. and all of this doesnt scare me. I just want to be informed. I understand the youth protection but, I feel that truly that doesnt apply. Nether of us believe in doing any thing until marriage so its always kept appropriate. So I don't feel that would be a factor. the dissuasion to marry was not taken lightly and will never be. I care a lot for him and understand their are things he wants to do in his life and don't want to get in the way. I just want to join him in some harmless fun
