Crew 87 was founded by Mark Lopez, then committee chair for Troop 87 Big Bear. Mark
thought a scouting program that incorporated girls was a great idea. He hand-picked
advisor, Mike Westover, Assistant Advisor, Mary Pat Carothers, Assistant Advisor Brian
Chajewsky, (who first thought of an eco-challenge in Big Bear)  & Committee Secretary,
Summer Jones. He arranged for a chartering organization and invited kids to join....It's
been about 6 years and some of the faces may have changed,  but Crew 87 is still
going strong.

Chartered by the Lion's Club in Big Bear, we meet every Tuesday at 7 p.m.. For
information on joining, please contact our Crew Advisor, Mike Westover  
michael@crew87.org or (909) 585-6577


Crew 87 does many fund raisers to support our projects, such as hosting the Big Bear
Venturing Challenge- most troops know as the Crew that runs the ropes courses and
climbing walls every year at different events such as the Sheriff's Rodeo & Scout
Jamboree.
