 Venture Crew   Welcome to Troop 507 website

Venture Crew News:

BSA Crew 507 is focused on scuba diving and aquatics.  Over a period of two years, while still participating in high adventure activities with the troop, crew members complete about a dozen dives and academic classroom modules to obtain PADI certifications for Open Water, Advanced Open Water, and Rescue Diving.
 
Once a scout has Open Water, he can start diving with the Dive Heart Foundation to become an HSA Certified Dive Buddy.  This certification enables them to assist disabled divers on dives they make at sites located throughout North American and the Caribbean.  Since these dives are directed by and largely funded through Dive Heart, the dive buddies can attend at a substantially reduced price.
 
If you are at least 15 years old and finished with your first year of high school, feel free to call Mr. Larson at 369.8003 or e-mail at Larsgen@aol.com for applications, schedules or details.  
 
Scuba classes start in early November and are limited to 8 adults/scouts per class, so don’t delay.

Venture Oath

As a Venturer,

I promise to do my duty to God

And help strengthen America,

To help others, and

To seek truth, fairness

And adventure in our world.

Venture Code

As Venturer I believe that America’s strength lies in our trust in God and courage, strength, and traditions of our people. I will therefore be faithful in my religious duties and will maintain a personal sense of honor in my own life. I will treasure my American heritage and will do all I can to preserve and enrich it. I will recognize the dignity and worth of all humanity and will use fair play and goodwill in my daily life. I will acquire the Venturing attitude that seeks truth in all things and adventure on frontiers of our changing world.
