dana_renner 11 Posted February 15, 2004 Share Posted February 15, 2004 Venturing and Sea Scouting are different than Troops, Teams and Packs. Co-ed crews are different because an advisor has to be somewhat tolerant and treat the youth more like adults. In Venturing and Sea Scouting youth truly run their own program. They vote in their own officers in the crew and ship. Uniforms are not required, but distinguishing clothing or logos, articles are allowed. Youth also draw up the unit calendar. This is not to say that adults just sit back and let it all happen and not voice their opinion or give leadership where it is needed. Venturing and Sea Scout adult leaders have to be patient and very tolerant but at the same time strict in some matters. Enforce BSA standards and make sure everything is done decently and in order.Everyone is to be treated equally. Link to post Share on other sites
Bob White 20 Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 So by your description (except for being coed) Venturing is the same as troops and teams. Adults leaders in all programs need tolerance, Troops and teams elect their leaders. scouts in troops and teams develop their own calendar. This is not to say that adults just sit back and let it all happen and not voice their opinion or give leadership where it is needed. Adult leaders in packs, troops, and teams have to be patient and very tolerant but at the same time strict in some matters. Enforce BSA standards and make sure everything is done decently and in order. Everyone is to be treated equally. I do not understand the point of your post. Link to post Share on other sites
dan 10 Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 dana_renner Why do you say Co-ed crews are different because an advisor has to be somewhat tolerant and treat the youth more like adults. Can you explain why you think this a crew advisor would have to be more tolerant if it was co-ed? Link to post Share on other sites
