High adventure challenges, inspires, and motivates our scouts and their leaders. This is why Troop 19 makes high-adventure a priority. Only qualified* scouts are able to participate in these challenging outdoor activities. (*Minimum qualifications include the rank of First class, age 14 years or older, meet BSA Physical Requirements, and participate in conditioning events prior to the High Adventure outing.)
Troop 19 seeks out High Adventure in the following:
- Backpacking
- Canoeing
- Kayaking
- Rappelling
- Rock climbing
- Sailing
- Scuba diving
- Skiing and snowboarding
Our trips are often 7 to 14 days in duration. We use vans, planes, and trains to reach our destinations. Typically we will travel over 2,500 miles round-trip during these adventures. These trips are always a fun, challenging, and the experiences last a lifetime.
