Kittatinny Mountain Scout Reservation
A complete camping facility suitable for your summer camping experience,
a 500+ acre scouting retreat where camp staff, unit leaders and scouts
work together to learn the best that Scouting can offer in developing
better units, qualified scouters, and skillful, self-reliant boys
and young men. The camp is located on the edge of Stokes State Forest,
in Sandyston Township, New Jersey within hiking distance of the Appalachian
Trail.

A 510 acre Scouting retreat located on the grounds of the Yards Creek
Pumping Station in Blairstown, New Jersey within hiking distance of

High Adventure Programs
|
| The mission of the High Adventure Committee is to promote the National
BSA High Adventure Programs. It is our Council's goal to have an annual
contingent to the High Adventure Programs. The committee is responsible
for the promotion of programs, leadership selection on sub committees,
training of leadership, adventure planning, budgeting and overseeing
sign up nights.
Philmont
Scout Ranch is the largest outdoor facility owned and operated
by the Boy Scouts of America. It is located just south of Cimarron,
NM and encompasses over 110,000 acres of backpacking heaven. When
an individual returns from a trip to Philmont, it has become a life
changing memory. Philmont also operates the largest training facility
of the Boy Scouts of America - The Philmont Training Center.
Attendance to the Philmont Training Center is by invitation only.
The
Northern Tier High Adventure Base is located near the peaceful
and beautiful Boundary Waters of the United States and Canada. Options
are available to attend the base camp in Ely, MN for shorter trips
or take an extended excursion into the Quetico Provincial Park of
Canada. Either way the portage is usually never more than 1 mile.
This is a great option for those who think they would not be able
to backpack 10-15 miles a day in the high altitude but still want
a high adventure experience.
The
Florida National High Adventure Sea Base offers unique educational
aquatic programs like sailing, snorkeling, scuba diving and conservation
courses. Located in Islamorada, the heart of the Florida Keys, the
near shore reefs offer unparalleled opportunities for long term and
short term programs year round. The new Conference facilities are
utilized for youth and adult Scouting Conferences and non-Scouting
groups when available.
