Venture Program
The Venture Program is a program within Troop 1776 that allows scouts to go on trips that are of a high adventure status. In the past, our troop has had Venture Treks to Alaska, the Canadian Rockies, Florida Seabase, the Grand Canyon, Switzerland, and England. Scouts who wish to participate in Venture Treks must be at least fourteen years old and have obtained the rank of first-class. Special exceptions are considered, talk to an ASM if interested in going on a Venture Trek and you do not meet the requirements. This summer (2009) a group of scouts will be backpacking the International Appalachian Trail in Canada. For more details please contact Tim C. at one of the troop’s weekly meetings.
