This week, the Boy Scouts of America will head to the Northern Tier Camps to learn the skills they need to survive in sub-zero temperatures. It's not all shivers and chapped lips though, as some of the programs include dog sledding, snow shoeing & skiing.
This week we continue the adventure with the Northern Tier Camps. The scouts skills will be put to the test in hiking in the snow, drilling holes in a frozen lake to fish and learning to wrap your feet to stay dry and warm. Also, snow caves for survival.
Kayaking Georgia's coastal marsh is a stealthy way to explore oceanography. Traveling under their own power, scouts learn to plot their course based on tides as they work their way out to Creighton Island.
This week, scout skills, leadership & spirit are on display at Camporee. Scouts are judged on up to 11 field events, including Animal Tracking, Fire Building, Scout Jeopardy & the Obstacle Course, all taking place at Castaic Lake in Southern California.
A high-altitude adventure awaits in the mountains of Nevada. Scouts get a first hand look at a working cattle ranch and learn skills like horsemanship, cattle roping and trail riding - culminating with an horseback trek and a night spent under the stars.
Scouting for Adventure travels to Catalina Island for the first of a Camp Emerald Bay trifecta. This week, Scouts embark on a canoe trip - but not just a paddle around the pond; a 10-mile voyage across the open ocean.
On the second installment from Camp Emerald Bay, Scouts pack-up their sleeping bags, strap-on their helmets and take off on mountain bikes across Catalina Island. Their adventure will take them up lung-burning climbs and down hair-whipping descents.
This week, we don't go over or around the Pacific... we go IN it! Scouts at Camp Emerald Bay scuba-dive in the dense kelp forests and among abundant marine life that these beautiful waters hold.
This week, the scouts will be on the New River participating in various activities. Watch as the scouts hit some great heights with some intense zip lining and then they will head to a gun range to learn about and participate in some trap shooting.
This week, scouts travel back in time to 18th century Appalachian, Virginia where a single shot muzzle loader, an axe and a knife were essential to man's survival. Where men crafted tools by hand with fire, steel and sweat.
When the scouts come to the Blue Ridge Scout Reservation in Virginia, they have a myriad of chances to experience high adventure. From getting serious air on a wakeboard to scaling a tree like the lumberjacks did years ago, this is not your father's camp.
With a trip to the Jersey shore you could find yourself paddling Barnegat Bay or walking across a steel cable over thirty feet in the air. Or maybe getting up on a surfboard for the first time and how about clinging to a rock wall with only your fingers?
As scouting in America reaches the century mark, we'll look back at scouting throughout the last 100 years and see how far we've come.
