 Top Seven Reasons to Attend VOA Meetings

1.  Participate in planning the year of venturing

2.  Free food

3.  Meet new friends and see old friends

4. Pick the VOA weekend theme

5. There is nothing else to do on the first Monday of every month!

6. Learn how to make your Crew/Ship more fun

7. Get ideas for exciting trips

 

 

The September VOA meeting focused on planning for the Spring Weekend.  We brainstormed themes and how to relate them to fun activities.  We'll choose an idea and begin detailed planning at an upcoming meeting.  In addition, we elected a vice president for administration, Jessica Hamilton, from crew 32.  

 

Join us for our next meeting on Monday, October 6th, 7:00 PM, at Valley Forge Scout Headquarters.

Wood Badge (October 18th - 20th, contact Janet Hunter jhunter58@aol.com for more information)
