Joining crew 73 is as easy as visiting a meeting and filling out an application. You can also request an application from any crew advisor or member.
To join a venture crew, you must be at least 14 years old. You can remain a youth in the crew until age 21.
No, you can be in both a troop and a crew. In fact, our crew does many events with other crews and troops.
Crew 73 participates in a wide variety of events. Activities planned for the remainder of 2010 include (but are not limited to!)
Because our crew is youth run, we can decide on additional activities for 2010 and have free reign for our 2011 schedule!
No, while our crew is charted by the Gwinnett Amateur Radio Society, many of our members enjoy the social and outdoor aspects the most.
Most crew 73 trips are very affordable, being under $20. Most of this money goes towards gas, and the rest towards food. The crew does not make any profit off of the trips. However, there are a few trips, like Winterfest, that are more expensive.
As of now, the crew doesn't have any official gear. However, most crew members have a little extra to share, so there shouldn't be any problems.
Most of what you need is basic camping gear. A backpacking style tent is recommended, as it takes up less space and is perfect for all kinds of activities. A pair of shoes that you can walk in the woods in is a must, and clothes for different types of weather are useful as well. Past that, any other gear depends on what type of activity you will be going on.
It was decided at the crew planing meeting that all of the event names would be in 'engrish.' This is much more interesting than names like “Panther creek trip” and “Webelos woods.”
The crew “Class A” is the official crew T shirt. We wear it at:
The crew “Class B” uniform is just whatever clothes you want to wear. We dress like this on:
No, but it would be nice. It is really difficult to plan trips and activities when half of the crew is gone.
We usually meet for about two hours. That gives us enough time to conduct buissness, hang out, and have a good time.
