First
we would like to thank you for expressing interest in this dance team.
We were a registered Venture Crew of the Boy Scouts of America. A Venture
Crew is run a lot like a regular Boy Scout troop however Venture Crews
have both male and female members.
Just like a Boy Scout troop we had meetings and went on trips. We met
every third Sunday of the month. During the meetings we went over our
plans for future trips, worked on our dances and learned
new techniques for our outfits. Many of the dancers are award winners in
both their dance and craft categories. We’ve also had three princesses
who were chosen to represent an outside organization. We attended a Powwow
once a month to further educate ourselves in both contemporary and
traditional Native American culture. We traveled all the way to Western
Penn., Maryland, New Jersey, upstate NY and even Massachusetts. We even
went to an International Jamboree in Stoney Creek, Canada.
However,
the traveling and equipment costs money, so throughout the year we did shows for Cub Scout packs and community events to raise money. There
would be anywhere from one to eight shows a month and will usually occur
on a Friday or Saturday. Our busiest months are November, February and
March.
