High Adventure
Get out of the house and into the excitement offered at one of the
BSA's High Adventure Bases! You've got three choices: a unique aquatic
quest at the Florida Sea Base; a canoeing or winter camping challenge
at the Northern Tier; or a wild west backpacking expedition at the
Philmont Scout Ranch.
Make a splash! Head to the Florida Keys and dive into an amazing
Florida Sea Base adventure and wade into more excitement than you
ever though possible. Snorkeling, SCUBA, boating, and beach camping
are among the many possibilities.
Don't miss the boat! One of the most beautiful, and remote parts of
North America offers a unique opportunity for Scouts. Canoeing,
hiking, fishing, and winter camping in and around the beautiful lakes
of northern Minnesota and southern Canada await you at the Northern Tier.
Take a hike! The mountains of New Mexico offer the adventure
that you have always dreamed about. Backpacking, rock climbing,
western lore, living history, and the views from peaks over 10,000
feet tall will make memories that last a lifetime.
High Adventure is a chance to try something you may never experience
again. So take adventure to the limit. You'll never forget it.

Located at the world-famous Philmont Scout Ranch, the Philmont
Training Center has served as the National Training Center of
the Boy Scouts of America since 1950. Thousands of Scouters and
their families have enjoyed the fun, fellowship, and education
summer.
A wide range of conferences are offered by the divisions and
committees of the National Council. Scouters must be approved by
their council and are challenged to return and share the information
in local training.
While a Scouter is participating in a conference, every member of
his or her family (from infants to adult children) is involved in
a full schedule of age-specific activities. After hours fun for the
entire family is also offered.
The Training Center also has year-around facilities for Scouting
conferences and training events, and hosts local council Wood Badge
courses.
