Venture Crew 369
Venturing Crew 369 was established April of 2013 based on the need of something more to do. The founding member was a Scout that made the rank of Eagle at 14 years old- feeling like he needed something more- and wanted more diversity- he, with the assistance of adults and support of the Council created Venturing Crew 369. The number assigned was chosen in respect for his former Scoutmaster and original Troop from the Blackhawk Area Council of Illinois.
