2022 High Adventure Trip Boundary Waters, MN

On the High Adventure Trip the Scouts had to show determination, teamwork and flexibility. This trip was a true scouting experience for all the scouts and leaders involved.
During this adventure scouts parpicated a 12 hour bus ride, camping and canoeing.

Each scout had to work together to set up tents, cook meals and portaging(walking on land carrying the canoes, food and equipment to the next lake). On the lake there were many challenges keeping food safe from bears and other wild animals. Each night you had to put all your scented items in a bear proof barrel that you tied to a tree. You also had to keep all your gear that was in your dry bag neat so you could fit everything back in the bag when you were done with it.

During the trip our group stayed at four different campsites. One of the biggest parts of staying at a campsite is leaving it better than you found it. So we had to follow all the Leave No Trace policies. Out on the water we had a lot of fun and great weather. You had to beat the waves, wind and the rapids. You got to see lots of great scenery.

Each group had their highs and lows but over all this was a great opportunity to have fun.
