Purpose
While
this is not a training course, it directly reflects upon a leader's
training and ability to transfer what was learned to youth.
The Venturing advisor award of merit recognizes advisors who go the
extra mile. One of the unique attributes of the Venturing program is the
relationship between Venturers and the crew Advisor. The ability to work
effectively with young adults as they themselves plan and run the
program is a true test of leadership skills. The award of merit
recognizes advisors for training, tenure, and quality program. .
Procedure

crew committee, the crew president in conjunction with the crew
