Venture Crew 99

Welcome to Venture Crew 99's Website. Our crew priorities are to try new activities, have fun and maybe learn some new skills along the way. We're based in Newtown, PA with members from many nearby towns.

What is Venturing? Venturing is a coed group of young adults, organized under the Boys Scouts of America (BSA). The Crew is run by youth leadership that are elected by the members. Adults serve as advisors. The BSA provides leader training, training, insurance and support. Many of our members have never participated in scouting before and come just because it is so much fun.

Here's some things we've done recently:

Canadian Canoe Trip: We spent a week at Camp Haliburton north of Toronto camping and trying a variety of activities including archery, rock climbing, rapelling, a one mile swim, kayaking and snorkling.

Casino Night: We learned how to play Blackjack, poker, roulette and craps using M&Ms. Lots of yelling and screaming as people won and lost. Hard to tell who won because we kept eating them.

Whitewater Rafting: Down the Lehigh River during a damn release through class 1, 2 & 3 rapids.

Pistol Shooting: learned how to safely load and shoot hand guns.
