Survey for Parents of 8th Grade & Older Scouts
Parents of older scouts: We need your input on high adventure outings. There is a strong belief in scouting that troops that offer High Adventure opportunities have a higher rate of participation and are more likely to retain older scouts. However, High Adventure treks are more expensive than traditional summer camp, involve significant advance preparation, and require dedicated adult leader commitment.
High Adventure treks are typically 1-2 week wilderness adventures such as backpacking in remote areas, rock climbing, scuba diving, canoeing or kayaking, or whitewater rafting. Scouts must be 14 years old or be 13 and have completed 8th grade in order to participate.
PLEASE take 5 minutes to fill it out a survey to provide input on high adventure interests. Take the survey here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1Tqou0QGHTXVnuqxZAR3P9jiSQfoPaH3tO-hMDgwU5nI/viewform
The older scouts will be discussing this at the meeting on October 24, so please complete the survey TODAY. This will help us determine the number of scouts and leaders with high interest or commitment, trek preferences, and will allow us to evaluate our options.
