See attached, used during a kickoff meeting for a local crew. Maybe you can find your own use for something like this. Venture crews are kid run, but they need help realizing all there is to do out there.

The third doc is not my work, but I found useful. The question always comes up - what is the difference between a venture patrol and venture crew? Well briefly, a venture patrol is a way to single out ‘better’ scouts and make an elitist organization within your troop (not recommended; I don’t know any scoutmaster who does not try to balance the troop). Venture Crew is the organization that is for kids over 14, separate from the troop, no uniforms (but the green shirt is optional), less big production car-camping, you CAN earn your eagle award as a member of a crew, and it is co-ed and predominantly kid run.
