Welcome to the hiker on the Venturing trail ...

As the Advisor of Crew 7 since 1992 and as a scouter for many years who enjoys hiking, patch collecting, and the values of scouting, I bring you a simple site that reflects my scouting interests and those of Crew 7.

This site is my original web site which I wrote when I was Cubmaster of Pack 777, Scoutmaster of Troop 777 and Exploring Advisor of Post 7.  It is a skeleton of what it was because I now put most of my efforts into my new site The Scouter on The Hiking Trail.  The new site includes information and images of old scout badges (BSA Badge History), Venturing information (Craig Murray's Venturing Notebook), and other sites that I have or am the webmaster for.
