High Adventure Bases
National High Adventure is the opportunity to take your Scouting experiences to the next, adrenaline pumping level. Different from a traditional Scout summer camp experience, merit badges aren’t the focus (but that doesn’t mean you can’t earn a few while you’re at it) and instead it’s all about making memories and getting experiences that will stick with you for life.
