High Adventure
A high-adventure experience includes several days of trekking in wilderness and other rugged, remote locations. Scouts BSA operates four national high-adventure facilities and numerous local council high adventure bases that provide outdoor adventure opportunities for the older Scouts (14 years). The Troop has at least one high adventure crew every Summer and these are often the highlight of a scouts camping experience. This summer the troop sent two crews to SeaBase and in 2022 the Troop is taking our first ever trip to Summit in West Virginia.

Philmont Winter Trek - Spring 2021
The Troop went back to Philmont in 2021. We had a 50 mile, 7 day / 6 night hike through the southern portion of Philmont Ranch. This was the first time Philmont had ever offerred a Winter Trek and was a very new experience for the scouts.
