spangler Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Hello folks. We have a brand new Venture Crew and have been wanting to show the Crew Officers Orientation for some time. I believe it is a very good overview of the Venture program, the workings of the Crew, and the responsibilities of each Officer as well as each member. HOWEVER, the program is not downloadable, and can only be viewed on the Scouting.org website, or purcahsed on a CD. I have no probelm with that, and we've ordered the CD ($9.99). But the online Scouting.org website has been malfunctioning for the last week or so and will not play the program (I'm pretty sure it's the site, and not me). And the only other place where I've found the video online was the Resources section of the VentureMag webiste - and that program crashes after the 1st of 17 portions. Again, not just for me. Does ANYONE have this video/program in an e-mailable format (or FTP-able or whatever it takes) that they could forward me so we could show it at our Crew meeting THIS EVENING? I've confirmed that the CD we ordered will not be delivered until the end of this week (at best). We've really been held back from our planned progress and I'd really like to use this resource before moving forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shortridge Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Hate to tell you this, but I think it may be a problem on your end. I'm using a high-speed connection at work (don't tell my boss), and the Crew Officers Orientation loads up and plays just fine. It's at http://www.scouting.org/applications/venturingcoo.aspx The intro screen says you need Flash Player 8, downloadable from macromedia. If you're using dial-up, it needs a min. 56K modem. The links to the resources - the PCI, etc. - all work fine, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spangler Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 We're both right. I just went on and, as you reported, it is back up and running. But I'm positive it was not for the last several days or a week. Someone on this forum said they found the same thing and that they were going to send an e-mail (to whom is the question - National has the site set up pretty well so that there's no way to contact anyone) to have it fixed. I guess that did the trick. But I'm still looking for anyone who might have a downloadable/e-mailable version of this as I'm not sure we'll have internet access where we want to play this. Thank you for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epalmer84 Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I'm on a T1 and none of the applications were working earlier. The COOB is now working. Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emb021 Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 spangler- hopefully you resolved your issue to show the orientation. As a new crew, I encourage you and your crew to use the correct terms. We are the Venturing program, not the venture program. There is a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
