A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, or maybe not so far away…..

A NEW HOPE
It is a period of change.
Rebel organizations battle the Crews for their time as high schools and extracurriculars challenge their schedules.  As the battles go on, Venturers are challenged to find fun and adventure wherever it may turn up.  Pursued by the Empire's sinister agents, Venturers and their guests race to The Gathering at Camp Wisdom to find respite, fun, and high adventure consultants to help them navigate their Crew's desires and wishes going forward through time.

As the Crews enjoy their day at The Gathering, they can find knowledge of the plans to help define their Crews as they learn about crucial information and experience fun activities during the Gathering then return home to their planets to restore their freedom to the Crew (and the galaxy). 

Who can attend: Venturing Participants, Scouts BSA Youth (over 14 years of age or 13 years of age and completed the 8th grade), and Sea Scouts. Youth must be accompanied by appropriate unit leaders per Scouting America policies.Any eligible youth can attend, if the youth does not have a crew or ship please contact Joe Tavares,tavares.joseph@gmail.com, or Aren Cambre, aren@arencambre.com (add them to the roster and bring their AB forms signed and completed).
