High Adventure

A high-adventure experience includes several days of being in the wilderness and other rugged, remote locations. Activities may include backpacking, canoeing, mountain biking, horse packing, mountain climbing, ski touring, rafting, kayaking, or a host of other outdoor adventures. These outdoor adventures teach our young people to have a strong appreciation and respect for their outdoor resources. We also want to make sure that they learn to leave the world a little better than the way they found it.

The Boy Scouts of America operates four national high-adventure facilities and numerous local council high adventure bases that provide outdoor adventure opportunities for older Scouts (14 years or older). Our troop commits to at least one high adventure each year.
