I'm new to the forum but have been involved in Scouting as a youth and for the last 8 years with my Son, from tiger to life. He is a sophomore in HS now. Which also means its time to look for more opportunities for him in Scouting. Our troop has been talking about having a Venturing Crew for a few years now. The Scouts are ready for it so I am getting one chartered this week.
The real question I have is how do the troop and crew co-exist. At this point we will be an extension of the crew, but we will have our own committee. To help defray start up cost we will be finicial tied to the troop for the time being. Since the scouts will continue to be co-registered that makes sense for now.
I have asked the Troop leadership to meet with our fledging crew committee so we can establish some guidlines (some discussions made it feel like they were looking for a joint custody agreement). Anyone have Troop/Crew bylaws or the like to help delineate areas of responsibilities and obligations?
