Last year, the crew held a "shootout" at French Range in Nov 05. Crew members were exposed to the safety rules, handling and operation of several different Firearms, to include the Mossberg 500 Shotgun, AK-47, SKS, 30-05, Ruger 22, Tek-9, Tek-22, Ruger P90 9mm pistol, and more. . .
It was a blast.

The Crew is working on its hiking. An 8 Mile hike at Otter creek is planned for the 3rd weekend.

In the past, our sponsor had issued a challenge - they would pay half of the cost of the Class a shirt for the First 10 crew members to get their green uniform shirt! We dont have a repeat (yet, we're asking again) but your Shirts can be purchased at Radcliff in the Schwinn Shop, or their sister store in Louisville, or at the Onlins Scout shop HERE

3 DEC 05 - C.O.P.E. event at CCC. Crew will camp out on Saturday night. Cost is $10.00 per person. This is also a recruiting event for the crew, and we'll be inviting cadets from the Knox High School JROTC Dept to attend. Those leaving from One-Stop at 10:00 that morning, will have the option of just doing the event from 1200-1600, or doing the event, and staying to camp.

10 DEC 05 - VSLC - VENTURE LEADERSHIP SKILLS COURSE – Attend -The Venturing Leadership Skills Course (VLSC) is a two-day training course designed for Venture Crew Members. Focus is Fun, teambuilding, communication games, and leadership modules to help Venturers grow personally in their leadership skills as well as learn how to use effective leadership techniques in a group setting to help their individual crew grow as a group. This training offers teens a "kickstart" to the leadership skills adults use in their everyday lives and careers. Registration forms and additional details are coming soon, but mark your calendars now. Space will be limited and the course fills up quickly.

FEB 06– SCOUT SUNDAY – Attend – The dates for Scout Sunday is set for February 6 . Please mark your calendar and plan to celebrate the 95th anniversary of our local council by wearing your Venture uniform to your church. If you don’t normally attend a local church, let us know so you can come with one of the other crew members on that day.
Ski / Snowboard FEB 06– Paoli Peaks – Attend – This is our annual ski day trip. Cost is $21.00 for Skiing, and $29.00 for snowboarding. Everyone at the meeting said that they wanted to snowboard. If you don’t know whether you’ll like snowboarding, its easier to go down to skiing from snowboarding, than to go up from skiing to snowboarding. Price includes a free lesson, and rental of equipment. - Need your money by 3 FEB 05

MAR

50 Miler - During Spring Break, the crew plans to hike 50
MAR 05 – Crew Camp Out – Attend – This is a crew planned event. Crew wants to camp out and incorporate in several things – Hiking, canoeing, and several other things were thrown out. Will need to select a location, and try to link together the events we want to do with where we can do them all on one campout, and then see which ones we can count toward electives towards the Ranger award or the Bronze award.

APR

APRIL 06 – SCOUT-O-RAMA – Attend – The crew will be camping out on the infield of the famous Churchill Downs racetrack in Louisville, and attend all of the events sponsored by other units. We will also be responsible to have our own booth. Discussed several options, and the crew liked the idea of doing a booth to promo the SLT SIMEX at Future Leaders Day. Idea would be to get some computers (laptops most likely) and connect them together to let folks see what the game is like, and how the simex would work. Can also give out free game CDs.

AUG

4-6 AUG 06 - Future Leaders Day - Attend - this event is sponsored by….. US! The Fort Knox Scouting Community hosts FLD every year. The event has activities for young people from kindergarten through age 99. Last year was the first year for the Scout Leadership and Teamwork SIMulation Exercise (SLT SIMEX) using the Americas Army video game. All the boys that played loved it, and even the girls that didn’t think they’d like it, really liked it. There will hopefully be other activities (rock wall, Army Marksmanship unit) but you can help us by bringing up some ideas on what activities we can do for teens at this event. It is the first weekend after school starts, so it’s a great help for us in recruiting for the crew, if we can get other teens to come to the event.
