Our Council VOA meeting is coming up this <b>Sunday, Oct 18th, 2pm at Loud Thunder</b>. We will be introducing our new officers and participating in Jamboree on the Air.<br />
<br />
What is JOTA I hear you ask? JOTA is the only World Scout event that happens simultaneously around the world. It a Ham radio event to bring scouts from across the world together. We will have Radios set up at camp with the capability of talking across the country, and possibly around the world depending on conditions. And the best part? You can use em! Also if you're a Boy Scout and working on your Radio Merit Badge you can complete a requirement or two.<br />

The purpose of this weekend is to help Venturers get a jump start on some of the core and elective requirements for the Ranger award. The Ranger award exhibits an increased knowledge of the skills needed and opportunities to experience the outdoors. Another purpose of this weekend is to introduce activities to the Venturing crews and to provide a weekend for the youth to get to know each other and have fun.<br />

On Friday evening, Venturers will complete the newly required Personal Safety Awareness with a discussion led by their peers. They will also be able to select 1 of 3 activities including Red Cross Standard First Aid, Leave No Trace Trainer or Project COPE(additional $10 COPE fee) for Saturday and Sunday. Social time is being planned for Saturday evening with LNT activities, fun, movies and music.<br />
The youth are taking charge of planning the activities for your consideration. Each activity or area of interest will be taught by an adult specializing in the field; assisted by youth as needed. Each crew is encouraged to provide leadership for themselves. Adults will be asked to assist with logistical support. To allow the best use of time, meals will be provided. Activities will be completed about noon on Sunday. Sunday lunch is on your own.<br />
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Loud Thunder Scout Reservation will be the site of this fun event, with plenty of space to complete our planned activities. We will be housed in cabins or camp for the overnight as indicated by the weather.<br />
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span>Registration and set up will begin at 6:00 pm. on Friday evening. Due to materials and food availability, pre-registration is required! We are busy planning a fun filled weekend and look forward to you joining us for the adventure. Our hope is to provide an experience that will both promote the Venturing program in Illowa Council, as well as encourage young Venturers. With your support and attendance, we look forward to making this Venturing event a success. <br />

<li>Venturing Leadership Award candidates must be currently registered as a member.</li>
<li>They must have held a leadership position or office on the unit, district, council, area, region or national level.</li>
<li>And most importantly the candidate must show exceptional dedication and give outstanding leadership and service to Venturers and the Venturing program on the level appropriate to the award presented.</li>
</ul>

<br />
We have been fortunate, in the formative years of Venturing in Illowa Council to have youth that have shown the outstanding leadership and service qualities that make them worthy of such an award. If you feel you know an individual is deserving of this award, I encourage you to nominate them.<br />

We will be having our Monthly Council VOA Meeting <b>Sunday October 12th, 2pm</b>, out at <b>Loud Thunder</b>. At this meeting we will be having some really cool stuff (come to find out what), sloppy joe's, so show up hungry (yum!), and we'll even have an actual meeting.

The Venturing mobile lock in is only a few days away (August 30th). That means the registration deadline is even nearer (August 23rd). If you don't want to miss out on water skiing (where else can you do that?!), mini golf, bowling, and pizza with some great friends I recommend you sign up now. The flyer / sign up form is attached.

The Road Rally results are in! The victors are Crew 123, Aubrey Reed, Sean Reed, Jen Coe, and Joey McAllister. They had the least time deviation, answered all their questions correctly, and never needed bailed out. This is Crew 123’s second Road Rally win out of the three years the event has happened.

The Venturing road rally is coming up on June 28th, beginning at 1pm. This year we will be staging the rally in Iowa. The starting point is yet to be determined but we will be ending near Maquoketa. The activities after the rally will be caving at Maquoketa Caves, eating delicious BBQ, and going to see an actual drive in movie.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Registration info can be found <a href="http://www.illowabsa.org/~/media/Councils/Council133/Events/Venturing-Exploring/2014-VOA-RoadRally-registration.ashx" target="_blank">HERE</a></span><br />
Registration must be in to the council office by June 20th<br />
<br />
If you haven't been to a road rally before it is a timed driving event from point to point. Your crew should form teams of up to four people, with one of those being an adult, and at least one being a licensed driver. You will explore the countryside of Iowa looking for your points. Teams gain or lose points by being on time and by answering questions at those points. If you're caught speeding you lose all your points for that stage.<br />
<br />
<u><b>If you can't find enough people to form a team please contact Jon Terry (</b><a href="mailto:jeterry@gmail.com">jeterry@gmail.com</a><b>) or myself and we'll get you set up. We don't want anyone to miss out.</b></u><br />

The Quad City Botanical Center is building a children’s garden of a substantial size and the VOA is planning to help. They will also be enlarging the garden train which was Caleb Koch’s Eagle project. This is a great opportunity for us to show the community how great the venturing program is and get some service hours in as well.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We plan to start at 11:00am, Sunday April 13th, at the QC Botanical Center in Rock Island.</span><br />

For those attending Ranger Escape this will be part of our Sunday activity.<br />
