Crew 540 is a Venturing crew based in King George, Virginia, serving youth (14-21) throughout the Mattaponi District. As the only Venturing crew in the district, we offer a unique opportunity for young people to challenge themselves, build friendships, and discover new interests through the Venturing program.
Our crew is built around the four pillars of Venturing: Adventure, Leadership, Personal Growth, and Service (ALPS). Through outdoor activities and new experiences, we embrace adventure and challenge ourselves to try new things. By planning activities, working together, and taking initiative, we develop the leadership skills needed to guide ourselves and others.
We believe personal growth is an ongoing journey. Every experience is an opportunity to learn, build confidence, discover strengths, and develop new skills. Through service projects and community involvement, we put our values into action and make a positive difference in the lives of others.
At Crew 540, we strive to create an environment where every member has the opportunity to lead, grow, serve, and explore. Whether we're taking on a new adventure, helping our community, or learning something new, we aim to make every experience meaningful and prepare our members for the challenges and opportunities ahead.
Crew 540 is chartered by King George Outdoor Outreach. King George Outdoor Outreach is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
