What is the VOA?
VOA stands for Venturing Officers’ Association. We develop an annual program plan of events to bring Venturing youth and crews together from throughout the council. Our annual coordinated program consists of youth leadership development programs, like the Venturing Officer’s Leadership Conference, and Venturing Leadership Conclave. Skill based activities, such as the annual ski and snowboard weekend, and special “Fall Activity”, which features a new skill area each year. High adventure programs such as the GPC-VOA Superactivity conducted every other year and RangerQuest – which is a weeklong sampling of local high adventure opportunities. We also work to support the operations of the council by providing Venturing support to leadership development, summer camping, youth advancement, adult recognition and membership recruitment. We also foster communication to and between crews throughout the council through our web site www.gpc-venturing.org.
To support these efforts we conduct monthly meetings at Flag Plaza the third Wednesday of each month from 6:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m. You can become involved through representing your district, becoming elected to the VOA as an officer, or volunteer to serve as a chairperson or staff member for a VOA sponsored event. Every crew is invited to send a representative to the VOA meetings to help develop VOA events.
