BSA High Adventure trips are a fantastic opportunity for Scouts to do something extraordinary. These trips can be a once in a life time opportunity. High Adventure trips are based off of a lottery. To get into the lottery one or more parents will organize the effort as adult leaders for the trip. These parents would submit paperwork based off of a deadline for the particular High Adventure trip of interest, to be eligible for the lottery. If chosen the "Crew" would be given a slot and the planning would start. There is a lot more work for the parents that choose to lead one of these trips but ask some of those that have, and you will hear they are amazing experiences for the adults and the scouts alike!
Below is a list of some of our past High Adventure trips.
