High Adventure

High Adventure gives our Scouts a real challenge they can plan for and work up towards. High Adventure isn't easy. It requires a lot of planning, training and the final event will put Scouts to the test. The experience if of course memorable and often life changing.

Planning and Preparation

High Adventure requires a good deal of planning and train up to do it right. After our Scouts determine the high adventure destination for the following year, our High Adventure team puts together a training plan that will prepare Scouts for the final adventure. This includes working on team building, endurance training, gear preparation and special training to ensure a safe and successful adventure.
