About The Adventure Plan
The Adventure Plan (TAP) provides a one-stop set of tools to help leaders envision, plan, prepare and conduct safe, exciting and successful outdoor Adventures. Your unit Adventure may be as simple as an overnight backpacking trip or bike ride, or maybe it is a week-long or longer activity.
This guide is helpful with the assistance of an adult leader.
Not all the steps outlined in this guide will apply to your unit’s Adventure. What steps apply will depend on what type of Adventure your unit selects. As you progress through the guide, you will find links to Scouting America guidelines, forms and on-line training sites essential for planning and conducting safe and exciting unit Adventures. In Resources, you will find a comprehensive listing of all such links, plus additional references you may find helpful as you build your unit’s next outdoor Adventure.
