2012 High Adventure Opportunities

 

 

Below, you will find information on a variety of adventures.  They vary on time of year, length and cost.  With a little hard work (like selling popcorn), none of them are out of reach from any Scout of the right age and determination.  Jump into the next century of Scouting and go for a high adventure experience…
