V-Crew 101!

Okay so today, I had troop meeting from 9:30 to 11:30. We conducted flag ceremony and then went to our own areas. One of the leaders, Truong Zing, called some of us out to create a Venture crew. The requirements were, you had to be in high school, at least Star, if not Life for ranking, and close to getting Eagle.



We went to meet with our new advisors and conducted a meeting to introduce what Venturing is.



After awhile, we had to make plans for fundraising because we needed money to buy our scout uniforms. No, not the ugly brown ones. Our uniforms are the sexy teal-ish green ones. Woot! We also had to choose positions. The positions consist of a president, 2 vice presidents, a treasurer, and a secretary. Sounds like school, no?



The votes came out to be like this:
President: Gilbert Tran
Vice Presidents: Toai-Nguyen Nguyen and Victoria Le
Secretary: Me
Treasurer: Jessica Ho

After we got that stuff taken care of, we discussed our uniforms. Our uniforms are going to consist of a Venturing scout shirt, gray pants, and white socks. After everything was decided upon, well sort of, we played some random games. The games didn't work quite well, but hey, we had a lot of fun. (=.

When troop meeting came to an end, we conducted the ending flag ceremony. Our new yell is "Thanh Sinh. Khai Pha." I'm not sure how to translate it in english, since I'm pretty bad at translations from Vietnamese. =/. Oh well. But yeah, it was pretty cool. I'm so happy now.



We finally have our own Venturing Crew in our troop. ♥.
