Winter Quarterly Report

GOALS

  1. To increase the level of support and development at the Area level of the Central Region by helping to develop an Area TLC/VOA for all 5 Areas in the Central Region.
  2. To increase the level of effective communication across the Central Region by direct and indirect communication.
  3. To help plan and implement programs designed to increase the number of Venturers and Venturing Crews in the Central Region.
  4. To market the Venturing Program every chance I get with the idea of increasing membership and awareness of the Venturing Program.
  5. To promote Venturing Advancement at all opportunities and increase the awareness of the Venturing Awards.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS

  1. I have encouraged councils within the Central Region to form TLCs/VOAs and have visited several councils to promote starting VOAs or to help elect officers to their existing VOAs.
  2. Four more Central Region Venturing Newsletters have been published, The Central Region Facebook group has over 800 members, and I am promoting Venturing events from councils through these two communication methods as frequently as possible.
  3. I have promoted the Facebook groups and Yahoo groups as often as possible, I have also promoted and stepped individual councils through completing the Council Standards of Venturing Excellence Award.
  4. I have attended events outside the Scouting world to promote the Venturing program and how it can help to develop those individual groups further.
  5. I have promoted the Venturing Advancement program and the Council Standards of Venturing Excellence Award at all opportunities. I have congratulated all known Silver Award recipients for their hard work in achieving that high recognition. I myself have recently completed the Trust Award, and Kodiak Training
