Venturing Crew 0007 was presented a gift of time by the Forest Lake Masonic Lodge in thanks for the assistance the Crew gave the Masons at their earlier pancake breakfasts. The Crew looks forward to helping the Masons again at their April pancake breakfast.

The custom made clocks by Charles Beckman, show the Crew number, Council and District insignias, and a “thanks” from the Masonic Lodge. These are awesome gifts that will be proudly displayed by the Crew members.

Venturing Crews are a relatively new branch in Boy Scouts. Venturing Crews are made up of young adults from ages 14 to 20. Their purpose in Venturing is to experience, learn and teach.

Crew 0007’s focus is High Adventure which includes outdoor camping, fishing, rock climbing, canoeing and white water rafting. Future planned events include outdoor winter camping, cave spelunking, backpacking on Isle Royal and fundraisers to reduce expenses. For information on joining Crew 0007 please call Julie Benoy at 651-433-5444.
