WELCOME
Venturing Crew 796 is sponsored by St. Ignatius of Loyola Catholic Church outside of Urbana, MD.
Meetings are held the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays of the month at St. Ignatius. Often activities are scheduled on meeting nights and we go to that location of the activity, so emailing and checking with us first is best.

Venturing Crew 796 also participates in activities with the other Venturing Crews in Frederick County, having fun and making friendships beyond just our Venturing Crew.
Venturing is a co-ed scouting program for those ages 14 to 20 that focuses on Adventure, Leadership, Personal Growth and Service.
The Venturing participants decide what activities they want to do and then plan and lead those activities.
