Crew 51 attended MLEEC (Massachusetts Law Enforcement Explorer Competition) on May 17th.
The day was filled with scenarios including:
Motor Vehicle Stop
Drunk Driver
Warrant Service (see Keystone Crew)
Physical Agility
Building Search (shooting response)
Suspicious Person Response
and many others!!
The crew did not do well in the scoring as we do not focus on law enforcement. However, we learned a lot, had a great time, and made some great memories.
Many thanks to the Newton Police Department and the Knox Trail Council for putting on this event.
(The music was selected as the US Army was playing this during the agility course.)

Venture Crew 51 went to the Massachusetts Law Enforcement Explorer Competition last weekend. As our unit does NOT focus on law enforcement, our scores were rather... low ... however, we had a lot of fun.

This particular video was of the Warrant Service scenario. (aka drug raid) We were pleased that only one 'officer' died.

Last fall the Venture Crew spent a couple months focused on trap shooting. The crew learned the basics of firearms safety as well as became proficient at shooting trap.

Huge thanks to the men from Riverside Gun Club. Their dedication and expertice made this possible.

Venture Crew 51 attended the annual Climb-In at Carabiners in New Bedford, MA last November.

About 50 scouts plus leaders attended the event.

What is a climb in? The climbing gym is reserved for the night. We started climbing about 7:00pm and they turned out the lights when the last kids collapsed at about 2:00am. We slept on the mats and pads around the gym.

Great event! Thanks to those who set it up.
