Welcome to the BSA Venturing Crew 204 Website

 to go until we boldly go where no Crew has gone before.

The agreement/permission form for the NRA Basic Pistol Course that begins January 14^th is currently available on line. This form must be signed and turned no later than the start of class on January 14^th.

The organizing committee officially handed off to the Crew Committee and Advisors July 15th. Roswell Street Baptist Church has agreed to be our sponsor.

The Crew Advisor is Mike Hawes, Crew Committee Chair is Gene Rome and Crew Committee Treasurer is Claudia Shannon.

The Crew dues are set at $30 for the start up and covers the basic fees for the remainder of the 2010 Scouting year. This includes a really cool Crew t-shirt. I cannot show you the shirt because you have not designed it yet.

If you want to join Crew 204, you must fill out a BSA Youth Application. If you are a member of BSA TROOP 204 you still have to fill out another application for CREW 204. Important, at the top of the application page is a section with the word TRANSFER. Do not fill out this section or the Council will remove you from TROOP 204. You want to have dual membership in both Troop 204 and Crew 204.

All Adult Crew members must take Youth Protection - Venturing Version before you can submit an application. This maybe taken online. If you are a Youth member of the Crew, and are over 18 years old, you must take Youth Protection, standard version to interact with the Troop on joint events. This is required by Troop 204's Committee.

Physicals, If you are a member of Troop 204, you should already have a Scout Physical and it is valid for the Crew also. For anyone not a member of Troop 204, a physical signed by the parent or guardian is sufficient for any event less than 72 hours long and NOT involving strenuous activity or high adventure. For the real fun stuff involving high adventure a doctor signed BSA physical is required.

In the near future, the Adult Inventory Form and the Youth Planning Form will be available on this website. The Adult Inventory form is a listing of all of the skills and knowledge that the adults can bring to the Crew. The Youth Planning Form is the listing of all of the things that the Youth members WANT to do. By matching up the two forms, we come up with list of things it is POSSIBLE to do. From this the Crew calendar will be generated.

The first Crew meeting was Monday, August 9th at 7:00 PM at the Anderson Building. If you are interested in being a Crew Officer, contact Mike Hawes no later than Monday, August 16th. Crew Elections are Monday, August 23rd 7:00 PM. If you are a college Crew member you can cast a proxy vote by emailing your vote to Mike Hawes.
