Venture Crew
The Troop 125 Venture Crew (VC) is a hybrid version of BSA's traditional Venture and Varsity Scouting programs consisting of our older more experienced Scouts (often joined by 125 Alumni) with a goal of mastering advanced outdoor skills and wilderness survival techniques, and participate in more high adventure activities.
The crew is distinguished on their uniform by orange epaulettes, the venture strip, the 125 flag of valor. Their sash dawns the "Venture V" with activity pins.
