I had another meeting tonight. Please post an update from tonight’s meeting and help @doug.wilson get me info that I can post to the calendar and share on Social Media.
The meeting went well. We are planning to advertise to youth an open house for Sept 16 at makeict. We’ll use the time to provide info on the venturing crew to the kids and their parents. Im going to create an illustration for the adverts and fliers so I’ll be sure to get you that @Malissa before too long (for Facebook).
Our meetings will be on the Tuesdays following Maker mondays.
Our next planning meeting will be Aug 27.
We also started to plan the first several venturing crew meetings up through Halloween. We got specific word from the national BSA office on the guide to safe scouting, which makes 90% of the wood shop and metal shop off limits to youth under 18. Basically any saw besides a hand saw is off limits, as well as grinders obviously, even belt sanders which surprised me. So we’re going to start with software and turning the digital files into something physical. Well provide a few ideas and let them go with it. We thought a pumpkin carving project using inkscape to layout whatever they wanted and then carve it out would be cool, but then we wondered if we are dorks and if high school kids will think carving pumpkins is uncool. Any ideas anyone has would be awesome. We’ll be sure and add it in.
