The Outdoors
Scouting provides many opportunities for young men ages 11 through 17 to
help plan and participate in rugged outdoor adventures. From day hikes to
camporees and summer camp, the troop plans activities that match the interests
and abilities of the Scouts. Older Scouts may participate in high-adventure
programs such as rock climbing, rappelling, and whitewater rafting. Younger
Scouts may attend summer camp and learn teamwork within their patrol and
troop. Summer camp blends fun program with advancement requirements to
reinforce skills learned throughout the year. In Scouting, fitness is
fun with a purpose.
