CaliDrmr09 Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 I am thinking of joining Venturing, but I haven't finished 8th grade yet because my parents held me back in Kindergarten. I am just starting 8th grade now. I am 14, and I am already in Scouts with my Star rank. I just haven't been active for a while. Is it possible for me to still join Venturing even though I haven't finished 8th grade? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomerscout Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 scouting.org states either {age 14 & finished 8th grade} or {age 15} so, looks like not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John-in-KC Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 EagleSon was exactly where you are now. The first Crew meeting after his 15th birthday, he was there, and asked for an app. Use the time to look for Crews that fit the person you're wanting to be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwazse Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 You might want to catch up with your old troop (or transfer to a new one). See if you can advance to Life this year! For certain crew events, I have allowed parents to come with 8th graders as guests. (For example, if we are at a state park, there'd be nothing I could do to keep you and your mom/dad from camping next to us anyway. You'd might as well be part of the company.) But, it's not the same as being a crew member (no chance to be an officer, skills can't count toward advancement, etc ...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
