Faculty Grant 2011-12 #6

Summary: Venture Crew Startup
Amount requested: $1,000.00
Amount granted: $1,000.00

Description: We would like to start a Venture Crew at SES, and we are asking the Foundation to be the Charter Partner for this crew.  Venturing is a branch of the Boy Scouts of America for young men & women ages 14-21,   Our SES crew would focus on learning leadership through high adventure activities in the outdoors and team-building.  Crew members can also earn a variety of awards and recognition.  We have many students who are interested in these challenges and also in developing their skills as leaders, so Venturing seems like a perfect opportunity for us.  We hope the Foundation will cover the startup costs and be willing to be a continuing partner for the crew.

Number of Students Impacted: 30 have signed up so far and a few more expressed interest.
