Q :What is V Games
A: V Games if a weekend of fun competition and social activities for Venturing Scouts
Q: Why is it being held on Memorial Day Weekend?
A: We decided to have it on Memorial Day weekend because in the past we have had youth who wanted to attend the games but couldn’t because this was the same weekend as their prom, and it is before most high school graduations and graduations parties. The youth I spoke to when considering this weekend loved this date because they can rest on Monday before going back to school. The V Games start at 7:00 pm on Friday night and officially ends at midnight on Saturday after the dance social. We asked that all crews exit the camp by 11:00 am on Sunday morning.
