Troop 777's Alaska Adventure, covered by Boy's Life - Was not Plan A.

Posted on Aug 5 2020 - 2:58pm

Troop

Message:

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.
