NILES – Experimental Aircraft Association Chapter 865 is happy to announce the formation of Boy Scouts of America, Venturing Crew 865.
An open house will be held on Saturday, May 10 at the Chapter hangar, east end of the Jerry Tyler Memorial Airport. All area youth fitting the criteria are invited to attend. Lunch will be served.
Venturing is a youth development program of the Boy Scouts of America for young men and women who are age 14 (and have completed the eighth grade) through 20 years of age.
Venturing's purpose is to provide positive experiences to help young people mature and to prepare them to become responsible and caring adults.
Venturing is based on a unique and dynamic relationship between youth, adult leaders, and organizations in their communities. Local community organizations establish a Venturing crew by matching their people and program resources to the interests of young people in the community. The result is a program of exciting and meaningful activities that helps youth pursue their special interests, grow, develop leadership skills, and become good citizens.
