Many things have been happening in Venturing in the last few months.  I am pleased to let you in on what has been happening with the National Venturing Cabinet.  We are all constantly doing things to help bring a better Venturing Program to you.  In this newest update to our website, you will find our Fall reports.  These reports chronicle our travels and where we have been and what events we have attended all over the country.  They also list what we have been doing to accomplish our goals to help bring the Venturing Program forward.

I invite you to view our reports and see your youth leadership in action.  I also invite you to read and review our efforts to strengthen the Venturing Program and give us feedback.  We would love to hear from you so head to the "Cabinet" tab and click on the picture of the officer you would like to contact and give us your thoughts.

Speaking of giving us your thoughts, I am excited to let you know about the new National Venturing webcast blog that will be coming to you beginning January 1, 2010.  This webcast blog will become a biweekly chronicle of the activities of the National Venturing Cabinet for the purpose of leading Venturing’s celebration for the Centennial of the Boy Scouts of America.  We want this to be a central hub to allow a potential avenue for better connection with us where we can personally answer letters and emails sent in by you.  It is also planned with hopes to expand this blog to also chronicle the activities of local Council Venturing Officers Associations and Venturing Crews and the individual ways they are helping to make this year the greatest year in Scouting history yet.

Stay tuned for more!
