Requirement · part of 8.0.5.2. The Venturer participates in an Advisor conference
8.0.5.3. In Venturing the conference comes LAST
Required Often forgotten
The Guide says so explicitly, and flags it as the difference from Scouts BSA: in Venturing the conference takes place after all the other requirements for a rank have been fulfilled.
Notes and warnings
Warning. The single most common error made by leaders who came from a troop. In Scouts BSA the unit leader conference sits among the requirements; in Venturing it comes after all of them. A crew that schedules the conference early has not saved time. It has held it at the wrong point.
