Planning &amp;amp; carrying out a community service project is a requirement for a Scout to earn his Eagle Scout Award.  Christopher is doing a wildlife project putting up new blue bird nesting houses on the Audubon Society's bluebird habitat trail near Sparr. All volunteers should &lt;strong&gt;meet at the Sparr Mall at 1 pm on Sunday. &lt;/strong&gt;Wear warm clothing &amp;amp; gloves. If any adult can provide a (charged up) cordless drill, that would be most helpful.  Also, parents are needed to help transport the volunteers to the various locations along the 16 mile long trail. Refreshments will be on hand at the completion of the project.   Please give Chris a call if you need directions or more information.  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"&gt;Come out &amp;amp; help with this worthwhile conservation project!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_shEt2URKbAA/R-2BL0vfd8I/AAAAAAAAAGg/T2YKXvulQiM/s1600-h/bluebird.gif"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5182940786309691330" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_shEt2URKbAA/R-2BL0vfd8I/AAAAAAAAAGg/T2YKXvulQiM/s200/bluebird.gif" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3319164172850117773-6351898987787996543?l=venturecrew1gaylord.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3319164172850117773/posts/default/6351898987787996543'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3319164172850117773/posts/default/6351898987787996543'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://venturecrew1gaylord.blogspot.com/2008/03/calling-all-crew-members-christopher.html' title='Calling all Crew Members!

Class A uniforms should be worn during travel!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To participate in tubeing or rafting at Big Bear Adventures, you must be qualified as a "swimmer" under BSA guidelines.  If you have not been skill tested for swimming, we will do so at the public beach.  Check with our BSA qualified lifeguards, Chris C.  or Wil S. for details on what swimming skills are required to meet "swimmer" classification.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tuesday evening will be a beach party with dinner at the park. The adult leaders are looking forward to a wonderful meal prepared by the Crew!  The "lock-in" at the Arch will kick off at 10 PM. You are welcome to bring personal electronic devices, such as I-pods, CD players, video games and John Denver 8 track tapes.  Board games, card games, etc. are also welcome. Remember - you will be responsible for any personal items that you bring with you!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Breakfast Wednesday will be at the Arch.  Wednesday activities will be up to the Crew - there is mini-golf, trail hiking, sight seeing, shopping, etc. available.  Lunch will be at a fast food restaurant of our choosing and each Scout is responsible for their meal.  We expect to depart around 3 and return to Gaylord at approx. 4 PM Wednesday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What to bring:  Clothing appropriate for the weather (extended forecast looks good - sunny &amp; warm).  Rain gear / poncho (just in case - you know what they say..."Be Prepared!") Jacket or sweatshirt might be needed for Tuesday evening at the beach.  Swimsuit &amp; towel, personal grooming items, and money for Wednesday lunch and any other personal shopping you may engage in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Permission slips have been e-mailed.

This is a terrific opportunity for Crew members to put funds into your Scout account to help pay for activities, events, dues, uniforms, equipment, etc. Scouts and adult family members can earn $10 per hour cutting grass and / or trimming with weed whackers. Using a riding mower or lawn tractor earns $20 per hour.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You will be able to put your name on a "call list" for any &amp;amp; all of the cemeteries we service. The sign up sheets will be available at the next Crew Meeting, along with detailed information for you &amp;amp; your parents.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Any Scout wishing to participate must attend a MANDATORY safety meeting on May 9th. The Troop Safety Coordinator must confirm you have received the basic training needed to safely operate lawn care equipment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;If you or your parents have any questions, contact the Crew Advisor (Mr. Marsh), the Troop Safety coordinator (Mr. Marsh) or the Troop Treasurer (Mr. Marsh).&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3319164172850117773-3400289906599791839?l=venturecrew1gaylord.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3319164172850117773/posts/default/3400289906599791839'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3319164172850117773/posts/default/3400289906599791839'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://venturecrew1gaylord.blogspot.com/2007/04/mowing-for-fun-profit.html' title='Mowing for Fun &amp; Profit!'/><author><name>Swampman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05012441318502879281</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_shEt2URKbAA/RiDuKDgwNcI/AAAAAAAAAAU/FMDsifUxmUY/s72-c/mowing.bmp' height='72' width='72'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319164172850117773.post-5215564752235894016</id><published>2007-04-10T22:58:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-04-10T23:00:34.059-05:00</updated><title type='text'>April 11th Crew Meeting</title><content type='html'>Crew Meeting Wednesday, April 11th at 6 PM!&lt;br /&gt;Hope everyone is refreshed &amp;amp; revitalized from Spring Break!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3319164172850117773-5215564752235894016?l=venturecrew1gaylord.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3319164172850117773/posts/default/5215564752235894016'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3319164172850117773/posts/default/5215564752235894016'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://venturecrew1gaylord.blogspot.com/2007/04/april-11th-crew-meeting.html' title='April 11th Crew Meeting'/><author><name>Swampman</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/05012441318502879281</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319164172850117773.post-1546780383618701828</id><published>2007-03-22T08:33:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-03-22T08:35:41.258-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Next Crew Meeting</title><content type='html'>The next Crew meeting is scheduled for 6:30pm March 28 at the First Congregational Church.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please email &lt;a href="mailto:crew1.gaylord@gmail.com"&gt;crew1.gaylord@gmail.com&lt;/a&gt; with any information or topic updates for this meeting.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3319164172850117773-1546780383618701828?l=venturecrew1gaylord.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3319164172850117773/posts/default/1546780383618701828'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/3319164172850117773/posts/default/1546780383618701828'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://venturecrew1gaylord.blogspot.com/2007/03/next-crew-meeting.html' title='Next Crew Meeting'/><author><name>Troop One</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='26' src='http://pages.google.com/edit/Troop1.Gaylord/TradTom_2K.jpg/TradTom_2K-medium.jpg'/></author></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3319164172850117773.post-535286826358340328</id><published>2007-03-21T12:41:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-03-21T12:45:39.340-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Getting Uniforms</title><content type='html'>We have an opportunity to order Venture uniforms through the Council Office, along with their order for Camp staff, and to get a &lt;strong&gt;15% discount&lt;/strong&gt;.
