Venturing Crew 396
About the Crew
Crew 396 is a co-ed high adventure scouting unit in Annapolis Maryland for ages 14-20.  Following the program of the Venturing Division of the Boy Scouts of America, we pursue outdoor activities and engage in service activities to make our world a better place.


Our expeditions are shown below.
Where we meet
The Crew meets at Sunday, 7:00 PM in the basement of Trinity United Methodist Church on West Street in Annapolis, near the Annapolis Library.  (Please e-mail or call 410-626-7470 before comming to meeting to make sure it will occur as scheduled).

Though sponsored by Trinity Church, our program is non-denominational, non-sectarian while at the same time stressing the importance of God and morals in the lives of youth--a basic tennet of Scouting.


The Captiol District includes other active Venture Crews.  Please contact us at Crew396@aol.com for more information on any of these units.
