NE Area 6 AVOA Elects New Officers

The Northeast Area 6 AVOA held its annual Venturing Quest at Broad Creek Memorial Scout Reservation’s Camp Spencer April 17-19, 2009.  Chester County Council was represented by Thornbury Township’s Crew 12, Oxford’s Crew 114, and Crew 23 of Downingtown, who staffed the event, as well as, participated.  During the weekend, the 340 Venturers participated in a multitude of activities ranging from canoeing and kayaking, to shotgun and rifle shooting, to outdoor cooking classes and swing dance lessons.  Crew 12 was presented with 1950’s style rubber ducks after winning the Iron Chef contest for their Belgian Cherry Bomb dessert.

The weekend culminated with a carnival-themed party showcasing games and contests, along with a DJ who played all kinds of music from 50’s favorites to today’s hits.  Youth and adults had a blast dancing for hours under the 1950’s era decorated pavilion.

Area 6 held their new officer elections Saturday night after dinner to decide who will plan Quest 2010.  Crew 23’s Gina Curtis served as the Treasurer for 2008-2009 and has been elected President for 2009-2010.  Congratulations, Gina!  2010’s Venturing Quest will be held at Chester County Council’s Camp Horseshoe.  Next year is sure to be as awesome as this year and more.
