 Eleven Troop 889 Scouts have earned the coveted "Triple Crown of High Adventure Award". The Boy Scouts of America (in conjunction with Charles L. Sommers Alumni Association (SAA)) have authorized the issuance of a special certificate and patch to honor those Scouts and Scouters who have participated in at least one program at each of the three National High Adventure Bases operated by the Boy Scouts of America. These Bases are Philmont Scout Ranch (including the Double H Ranch), Northern Tier National High Adventure Bases (Ely, Atikokan, and Bissett), and the Florida National High Adventure Sea Base.
The SAA created the Triple Crown Award in 1996 to both promote all National High Adventure programs (Philmont, Northern Tier, and Sea Base) and help identify those Scouts with a thirst for High Adventure who may potentially be interested in serving on the staff of the Northern Tier and other High Adventure programs.
Scouts who have completed the Triple Crown are: Ross McNulty, Keith Baker, Matt Johnson, Austin Terry, Zach Winkel, Eric Menees, Chris Ditter, Grant Kern, Grant Jacobsen, Adam Hale, and Cody Smith
In addition, assistant Scoutmaster Rob Menees has also earned this prestigious honor.
A special presentation will be made at the August 2011 Troop 889 Court of Honor.
