There’s more to being a Boy Scout than tying knots and wearing a uniform. It is having opportunities to grow in leadership and do things you might never before have even tried....rock climbing, air-boating, sailing, canoeing, zip lining, hiking, to name a few. To learn skills of survival, first aid and problem solving that will influence all areas of your life.
The Ultimate Goal
High Adventure is Scouting’s ultimate goal. It is the place where you put to use all the skills you learn during rank advancement and merit badge training. Scouts learn skills as they progress in rank...from Tenderfoot to Second and First Class, then Star, Life and Eagle. These skills are not just steps to the next rank...they are skills that can be put to use in the high adventure arena. First Aid, Wilderness Survival, Camping and Climbing Merit Badges are fun to get, but high adventure campouts are an opportunity to hone these skills...and even discover new lifelong pursuits like rock climbing and kayaking. Sure you can learn to tie a figure-of-eight follow through knot...but when you go rock climbing this knot is your life line. You can learn first aid for a merit badge, but in high adventure you need these skills to keep your team safe and help in times of need. Putting the things you learn to use makes learning fun....and builds your self-confidence in all areas of your life. Read more about the Troop 889 High Adventure Program:
