High Adventures are one of the most memorable and rewarding part of the Scout's program year.  4 years ago, 777 customized a trip to Alaska that was documented in the Boy's Life article - "No Fear."  The trip was the result of needing a "Plan B" when the Troop was unable to land a Sea Base adventure in 2016.  The troop sea kayaked, climbed glaciers, hiked mountains, caught and ate fish at a remote mountain-top lake, rode a sled pulled by actual Iditarod Sled Dogs, and shared it all in a presentation to Cub Scout Pack 712. 

This and other high adventure memories can be found in our SmugMug page

Good memories can come from let-downs like no Jamboree in 2021. Hopefully, these images can help inspire you for designing Troop 777's next high adventure memory.

BSA is launching a new Leadership Experience at the Summit Bechtel Adventure Point!

It is available to young men and women entering their junior year of high school. Nominated by their school (teachers, principal, counselors, mentors), 40 students will be selected during the summer and will begin the program in August. Students will be taught technical leadership concepts, while also learning from leadership expertise in the community through direct interaction and on-site visits. Meeting monthly in teams, students will plan and execute a significant community service project to demonstrate their leadership abilities. The school year-long program will also offer a Leadership Retreat at Adventure Point and a Capstone High Adventure Trip to the Summit, WV at its conclusion. Nominations are open until July 1, 2020 and may be submitted on this website:  www.adventurepoint.org/leadership-programs/

Scouts world-wide have gone virtual in different ways.  Enjoy these Czech Scouts closing their virtual troop meeting singing taps. https://www.facebook.com/skaut/videos/240863127027155/

It hasn't been a year since we met our fellow Scouts from around the world at the World Jamboree.  While they showed us how much fun they can have, this reminds me how dynamic they are too.
