Farewell (sort-of) from Nate Steele

2014-2015 Area 4 Venturing President

Summertime It is a great time for families and an even better time for Scouting. As I consider some of my best Scouting memories, many of them were formed during the dog days of summer. I encourage each of you to make time to get outdoors with your crews and create those memories. Another item to watch out for soon, is the registration page for our second annual WorldFest. Last year we had 354 partici-pants come from all over Area 4. This event set the new standard for Venturing only events.

We had climbing walls, shooting sports, tomahawk throwing, obstacle courses, a council activity midway and much more. My thanks go out to the many volunteers that made this a memorable weekend. On a final note, I encourage each of you to get involved with Venturing on your council level. Each council should have a Venturing Officer Association, and, chances are, there are leaderships seats available on that VOA. Reach out, make new friends, take on lead-ership and get involved! Duane Zobrist Area 4 Venturing Advisor

Advisors Corner

It is hard to believe that we already have one year behind us. Over the course of the past year, I am extremely proud of all of what the Area 4 VOA was able to ac-complish. We were able to put on four trainings, establish a permanent fun event, and work to create a larger Venturing pres-ence in Area 4. Of course, I couldnt have accomplished this alone! With the help of all of the VPs (Jon, Virginia, Nathan, and Matt) and Advi-sors (Mr. Zobrist, Mr. Myers, Johnny, JV, and Josh), countless hours were put in every week in order to improve Venturing within the Area not to mention all of the other volunteers within the Area.

On top of all of this, I have been privileged to meet many new Venturers and work with an amazing group of individuals. I am looking forward to the upcoming year and I am extremely confident that Michael and his new VOA will put on an amazing program! Thank you for the great year and I hope to see you around!

Our Area's fun event for 2015 was a blast. We had 354 attendees overall, two of those people were the current and past Central Region Venturing Presidents. WorldFest 2015: An International Experience took place in Kensington, Ohio at Seven Ranges Scout Reservation. We kicked off the first evening with ice breaker games, a word or two from our 2014-2015 Area 4 president, an open mic and snacks. After that we all hit the hay and prepared ourselves for what-ever would come our way in the morning. Saturday morning, after a delicious breakfast and flag raising, we were told some of our options for the day. A variety of things were offered such as archery, tomahawk and knife throwing, shot-gun, rifle, handgun, and black powder shooting, COPE, rock wall climbing, seminars, a midway, and so much more! And the best part was that each crew got to make their own schedule! After an exquisite lunch and a busy day we lowered the flag and gathered for dinner. During dinner, crew members were given the opportunity to volunteer for challenges and compete at games on the stage. This was entertaining to watch! When dinner was finished we had a dance and social hour instead of the traditional council fire at most Scout camps. A photo booth was even offered! Sunday morning we had breakfast and unfortunately had to pack up and leave, but it was loads of fun that will certainly last a lifetime in memories! We hope to see you and your crew at WorldFest 2016!

Registration will be open this Summer at tiny.cc/WorldFest

Ellen Blackwood, Area 4 Vice President of Program

Buckskin Council Venturing crews attended the Summit Experience program offered at the Sum-

mit Bechtel Family National Scout Reserve. It was a fantastic week filled with fun and exciting

activities. There was something for everyone. Each day brought a new challenge and adventure.

Monday's activities were centered on shooting. We walked from the Scott Visitor Center up to

The Barrels. At The Barrels, we shot .22 rifles and shotguns for sporting clays. After lunch, we

headed up to The Bows. We shot from various distances at static target blocks, with the easiest

being fifteen yards and the most difficult, sixty yards. We also shot at 3D targets in the woods.

My favorite that day was Laporte. It's like shotgun with sporting clays but instead with a recurve

bow and arrows shooting at foam discs.

On Tuesday, we completed a service project at the National Park Service office locat-

ed just outside of camp. Some of us painted and some did yard work. That afternoon, we

returned to camp and participated in kayaking at Bravo Lake. We learned how to do a

self-rescue and a team rescue.

Wednesday's activities were my favorites. That day we went to The Canopy and then to

The Rocks. At The Canopy, we broke off into a couple groups to go through different

canopy tour courses. The courses included rope bridges, rappelling stations, and even

the tallest zip line in camp. In the afternoon, we walked to The Rocks. We took part in

some trust and team-building exercises. We went bouldering and then climbed the rock

walls. Our group also got to rappel and jump The Leap of Faith many times.

The next day, we went to The Ropes, The Big Zip, and then to Low Gear in the afternoon. The

Ropes was a Low-COPE course. Imagine a swinging playground in the treetops. It consisted of

many different combinations of ropes, cables, logs, and PVC pipes. It tested our strength and the

strength of our stomachs. When finished, we hiked to The Big Zip. At 3200 feet, it is the long-

est zip-line in the lower forty-eight states. We cannonballed down it, reaching high speeds. After

zip lining, we went mountain biking at Low Gear. Even though it was rainy and muddy, we all had

a great time and especially enjoyed the downhill section. It made the climbs worth it.

On our last full day at the Summit, we walked to The Park. The Park is one of the largest skate-

board parks in the country. It included a half pipe and a foam pit. We learned many tricks. Sadly,

The Trax, a BMX park, had been rained out.

Luckily, the Summit is equipped with many more optional activities for times like those. They

were also great if you perhaps didn't care to do a scheduled activity. Most of the mini-activities

were located at Action Point. It was a taste of programs offered at the Summit. Water activities

took place at Water Reality. It includes many inflatables and

obstacle courses. Both locations were open in the evening for

free time after dinner.

A cornerstone of Venturing is high-adventure. This week was a

great way to explore that. We participated in many extreme

activities, some of which arent offered many other places. It

challenged us as individuals and as a crew.

Buckskin Council Crews take in the Summit Experience

For more information: see SummitBSA.org


A Short version of the core requirements are: 1) Positive growth in membership or crews 2) Have a VOA running according to national standards 3) Awarding one or more Council VLAs 4) The VOA planned at least one council wide event 5) VOA makes an effort to recognize recipients of Ven-

turing Awards 6) Key 3 met at least 6 times 7) VOA president presents a report to the board 8) Up to date Council Venturing Website 9) VOA met at least 4 times in the year 10) A council representative participated in an Area

meeting 11) VOA uses social networks to communicate.

The 2016 form will be released later this year so keep your eye out for it.

Wouldnt it be great if there was a checklist to follow in achieving Venturing Excellence at the council level? Well there is! In 2013, two of our councils were awarded the Council Standards of Venturing Excellence Award. Congratulations again to Musk-ingum Valley Council and Great Trail Council. You can use the CSVE early in the year to plan to be an excellent VOA and thereby give everyone an excellent Venturing Experience. Download the form from the link and use it like a planning check list for this year.

Scouting.org/scoutsource/Venturing/Awards/Excellence. There are 11 core requirements and the council must meet 5 of 9 electives to qualify for the award. Do the core and the electives on the form and enjoy your Excellence.

Guidelines for Councils: Achieve Venturing Excellence

Guidelines for Crews: Achieve Venturing Excellence

Crews get a checklist also to help them achieve Venturing Excellence. The 2015 Venturing Crew Journey to Excellence (JTE) form is available now at

Scouting.org/JTE.

Crews can achieve points in 9 objectives in three levels each: Bronze, Silver and Gold. Objectives cover Planning and budgeting, membership, program, and volunteer leadership. In program you see the influence of the ALPS planning model with standards suggested in Adventure, Leadership, Personal Growth, and Service.

How can Councils Organize for Venturing Success?

The Problem: Declining membership in Venturing. The Solution:

- More and Better Quality VOAs and - Councils that Structure their Venturing Program for Success Key 5 solution Five persons that will help your council Structure for Success. Council Venturing Chairman* Council VOA Advisor* Council Venturing President Council Staff Professional Assistant Council Commission-

er-Venturing *Many councils have one person serving both functions.

What is our evidence? In 2012-2013 Councils in the Central Region with a Venturing Officer Association lost 9% of their members. Councils without a VOA lost 27%, that is THREE TIMES the loss in VOA councils. Is there something magical about having a VOA? Probably not (although VOAs are amazing), but councils with VOAs are invested in the success of the Venturing Program. 40% of our membership in the Central Re-gion and 60% of our councils are not repre-sented by a VOA. Contact: [email protected] and lets talk about how the C4VOA can help you.

Scot Nielson, Area 4 Venturing VP Training: The four parts of our Venturing program are Adventure, Lead-ership, Personal Growth, and Service and I believe that no pro-gram provided by the BSA exemplifies these four areas as co-hesively and fully as NAYLE. NAYLE is the highest training expe-rience the BSA offers for youth, and is now held at Philmont, Sea Base, Northern Tier, and The Sum-mit. If you have completed and enjoyed National Youth Leadership Training (NYLT), you are most like-ly eligible to participate in this program full of new Scouting skills and their application to leadership. I can guarantee that you'll meet some amazing people; I am consistently amazed at the diversity and commitment to Scouting of the people I have met. If you are looking for a new experience with Scouting, go to NAYLE!

Learn more about NAYLE at

Facebook.com/BSANAYLE or view the webpage at

http://www.scouting.org/scoutsource/BoyScouts/Resources/NAYLE.aspx

You should take ILSC in your crew then go to NYLT and then apply for the best training experience there is, NAYLE. As to Other Training: Let me know if your VOA or council can use any assistance in bringing the best of Venturing Training to your youth and volunteers. We are available to assist with your University of Scouting or other events. Please contact Scot Nielson at [email protected]. We will make a strong attempt to accommodate your re-quest.

Training for all Youth: NYLT and NAYLE

Venturers 18-20 and adults involved in Venturing at a unit, district, or council level, come and learn firsthand how you can take on the challenge and fun of the new Venturing A-L-P-S program. The new Venturing Planning model builds on success from the past and provides a framework for a dynamic program of Adventure,

Leadership, Personal growth and Service. It is grounded in a flexible program of continuous, youth-led adventure with the new recognition system providing Venturers with benchmarks of progress. You will learn all about the Venturing award matrix and how to help your Venturers achieve the Venturing Summit award. This is a terrific event for your entire family (dont forget your western wear for Western Night!) We're looking for a large turnout of Central Re-gion Venturers and Advisors during the August 9-15 session. Faculty for this event are 2015-2016 Central Region Venturing President Brian Parro, 2014-2015 Central Region Venturing President Emily Mausshardt and Dr. Ken King, Central Region Associate

Advisor and author-lead of the new venturing handbook and guidebook.

Launched in September 2011,

Messengers of Peace is a global

initiative designed to inspire

millions of young men and

women in more than 220 coun-

tries and territories to work

toward peace. Using state-of-

the-art social media, the initia-

tive lets Scouts from around the world share what theyve

done and inspire fellow Scouts to undertake similar efforts

in their own communities.

Peace encompasses three dimensions:

1. The personal dimension: harmony, justice, and equality 2. The community dimen-

sion: peace as opposed to hostility or violent conflict

3. Relationships between humankind and its envi-ronment: security, social and economic welfare, and relationship with the environment

Any Scout or Scouter who

participates in a project that has had a significant impact on

the community in any one of the three dimensions above

can qualify as a Messenger of Peace.
