WOAH will be an amazing weekend with team building games, boating activities, aquatics, climbing, and even shooting sports. The Area 4 Venturing Cabinet wants to make this weekend a memorable experience for Venturers all over the state of Florida. We want all Venturers who attended to leave saying “Woah that was amazing”. Throughout the weekend we will also be covering SR Area 4 Venturing Business with the Council Presidents & Advisors. On Friday Evening, we will have an open forum Venturing Meeting for all interested Venturers to ask questions and to cover Area 4 Business. Please be sure to sign up as soon as possible so that way we can make sure that this event will be an amazing experience for each attending individual!
