Boy Scouts & Boarding School

(and that’s LONE scout. I must’ve been thinking about college tuition in a few years.)

Our son was one of the last members of our troop when if folded. One of the options presented if he wished to continue working towards Eagle was to join a Venturing crew. As long as you reach first class in Boy Scouts you can earn the rest of the Boy Scout ranks in Venturing, most of the Venture leadership positions count for advancement and venturing is co-ed. http://www.scouting.org/Home/GuideToAdvancement/MechanicsofAdvancement/Venturing.aspx HMom16 if your son is at Middlesex we were recommend Venture Crew 7 in Chelmsford, about 10 miles from Middlesex . I believe they meet only 1 or 2 times a month and usually on the weekends so less transportation needed?

Thanks @ForkNotTaken . My son ended up at St. Paul’s. We’ve been in touch with the local Scout troop but my son would have to Uber to/from meetings and would have a hard time doing anything with the troop. He’s staying a member of his home troop, for now, but will need to find another option as we will be moving in the next few months. I’ll definitely look into Venturing as another possibility. Thanks again!
