millerej Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 I am having a first nighter for a new crew and while I have worked with Boy Scouts I am a little nervous about doing the Venture Crew, yet I am looking forward to it. Can anyone give me some advise about the first nighter? This is also a major drive for scouting so it will also be a drive for BSA and Cubs..

Backpacker Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 Three things that attract teens to Venture are the variety of activities available, that the teens organize and run the program, and that Venture is coed. Presentation is everything, I use slides and videos showing past activities and props which really draws them. If possible have other teen Venturers there to talk and recruit, they make the best salespeople. I would have the Venture table in a seperate area to distinguish it from the other programs and to give the older teens a place to gather and hang out. OH! don't forget some kind of treat, like popcorn or one year we had a dutch oven cobbler. Just use your imagination and get some input from your teens and good luck.
