Welcome Scouters and other submitters
This section is for sites of BSA Venture Scout Crews.
Keep in mind that this is an edited directory. The Editors are all scouters who have volunteered in the ODP. They have developed guidelines for the placement and description of scouting sites. Please do them a good turn - by reading and following these guidelines.
Note The format of the directory is to start with "Crew 111" the words "Venture Scout" are omitted because this branch of the directory is restricted to Venture Scout sites. The sites are divided by State.
The descriptions are edited to disclose the content of the site, the editor''s question is, "what is on the site" - does the site have a photo gallery, activity calendar, leader contacts, etc. Mission statements, puffery, such as "Greatest Site in America!!! " ; "**Best group this side of the Missouri**" etc., will be edited out.
Here is what the editors are looking for in your submission:
Example of Title:
Crew 123 - Springfield, Illinois
Example of Description:
Venture scouting, site includes leader contacts, meeting times and locations, calendar of events, midi music, interactive forms, downloadable forms, and links
Please describe what type of information is presented.
Do Not use the description to present information. For example, a statement "Our group meets Wednesday night at 7:00 p.m. at the downtown scout hall on Pine Street" will be edited out, and the editor will substitute "meeting time and location".
By following these guidelines you will speed the processing of your submission''s entry into the ODP Directory.
