After the introduction from BSA (Boy Scout of
America) Venture Crew Executive in October
2013, a few youths from IBPS (International
Progress Buddhist Society) boy scout and girl
scout troops of New York showed their interests
of forming a Venture Crew at the temple.
They seek to experience a program that is fun
and full of challenge and adventure. They can
create and manage many exciting and meaningful
activities that helps youth pursue their
special interests, grow, develop leadership
skills, and become good citizens. Through
months of discussion, organizing, setting up
bylaw, and interacting with adults and venerable
from the temple, they gave birth of Venture
Crew 754 chartered with the Greater New
York Council of Boy Scouts of America.
At its first membership meeting, Miss Jasmine
Wu was elected the president of the crew.
Subsequently, Miss Molly Hwang was elected
the president of the crew for the scouting
year of 2014~2015 and Miss Isabel Zou was
elected to serve as the president for the year
of 2015~2016. Under the leadership of the 3
presidents and guidance of the venerable, the
crew has expanded to become a 16 members
unit. the largest venturing crew in the Queens
district. The venturing crew is the youngest
scout unit among all the scout units sponsored
by the temple, but it consists of the
oldest members in the all scout units.
During the past two and half years, all the
Crew member have the long tie experience
from Boy scout or Girl scout. They are very
devoted to their new Crew and designed
many activities with high adventure, which
they did not experience in their scouting
life, for example, extreme adventure at Lake
George, rock climbing by Atlantic Ocean, kayaking
on the sea, and plan their own activities
and community services with little supervision.
These activities meet the Venturing’s
purpose is to provide positive experiences
to help young people mature and to prepare
them to become responsible and caring
adults.
We continue to reach the goal of Venturing
is to help young adults be responsible and
caring persons, both now and in the future.
Learn to make ethical choices over their lifetimes
by instilling the values in the Scout Oath
and Scout Law. Acquire skills in the areas of
high adventure, sports, arts and hobbies, or
religious life. Experience positive leadership
from adult and youth leaders and be given opportunities
to take on leadership roles. Have
a chance to learn and grow in a supportive,
caring, and fun environment. These all match
temple “Three Act of goodness” Motto.
