Start an Adventure Club at your high school

TOP SECRET

Start an Adventure Club at your high school….

We went to an Eagle Scout teacher (not required, but helps)….and formed the "Black River Adventure Club."  The Crew President, a DE, and I, after going over details and potential issues with the teacher, had the teacher present to the principal and Vice Principal-for-student-activities the idea of our Adventure Club.  We explained that we use the umbrella of the BSA for insurance, youth protection, Guide to Safe Scouting, and that the club is entirely student run with adult guidance.  Explained that the obvious trappings of Scouting were optional and not over emphasized (uniform, advancement, etc), but that using the Scouting resources was an advantage for providing fun safe adventures to the teens.  Teen development, character building, etc was to be the emphasis as the teens plan adventures.

There was a little balking at the time about the gay thing, but I emphasized that we don’t promote homosexuality, and we don’t promote heterosexuality; that sexuality was not a part of Scouting, and all students will be welcome.
