Venture Crew 194 is sponsored by the Mason United Methodist Church in Ohio.  We work with the Local Troops: 194, 500, 750, 43 as a stepping sone for kids to develop leadership.  We also work with the local Mason Packs: 43, 500, 750, 230, 323, 875, 998 to provide leadership and to the kids develop a strong interest in scouting.  THe Crew is part of the Hopewell District and part of the Dan Beard Council.   Our crew members love the following types of activitities:  Rifle and Pistol shooting, Canoeing, Hiking, Scuba Diving, Swimming, Camping, Biking, and many other fun events.   Many of the crew members attend Mason High school kids and are active in their churches.   We like the kids to focus on leadership as their core strengths and they will oftend demonstrate these abilities through planning actvities and often will continue these skills outside of the Venture Crew.  We've seen them organize their own paintball sessions, lazer kraze parties, and many other events, even outside of the Crew.
