The Central Point - July 2014

The Central Point Newsletter of Central Region Venturing | Boy Scouts of America July Newsletter 2014 Follow us on: Area 4 Fun Event! Whitewater Rafting and Zip Lining Rushing water, paddles dipping into the water, and screams of joy filled the air as Central Region Area 4 Venturers took part in the first Area 4 Fun Event! In May, the Area 4 VOA went on an amazing high adventure experience with an exciting weekend trip to the New River in West Virginia. This is right where the new Summit Betchel High Adventure Base is, so the Area 4 VOA decided to take advantage of the slice of high adventure heaven that is located within the area. During the weekend, Venturers from throughout the area got to experience premier whitewater rafting on the New River, or zip lining through the deep West Virginian forests. After taking part in the high adventure aspects, Venturers took in the scenic view of the Appalachian Mountains and shared stories with other Venturers at the closing campfire, where Area 4 presented its first ever Area Venturing Leadership Award! Due to the hard work and planning by Area 4, the event was put on with a largely discounted price, which enabled many more Venturers to be able to partake in the fun! Many Venturers who attended this event found it extremely enjoyable and look forward to numerous more fun events to follow! - Nate Steele In This Issue: Area 4 Fun Event: Whitewater Rafting and Zip Lining 1 Central Region Venturing Planning Conference 2014 2 See Our Venturing Council Pages 2 Celebrate Venturing 3 Peer to Peer Recruiting 4 Recipe of the Month 4 Picture Caption Contest 5 The Central Connection 5 Name That Camp 5 Sea Scout Update 6 Area Pages 7 President’s Corner 8 Click on the Printer to Download and Print
