Outing Ideas

As a high adventure troop, we like to promote outings such as:

• Backpacking
• Climbing
• Cycling
• Snow Sports
• Whitewater

Visit this link Outings List to have more ideas. Of course, ideas should not be limited to what mentioned above.

Note to Parents

It is time for you to look at the list and think what outings that you always want to coordinate/participate. There many benefits for you to coordinate/participate these activities: for example,

1. Your scout will be proud of you
2. Opportunity to know other parents
3. Know about other scouts
4. Your inner child will enjoy these activities with your scouts

No experience required, as long as you want to coordinate, we have experienced parents to help you. Particularly we like to encourage the new parents to coordinate/participate. You can also team up with other parents to coordinate an outing. If you have questions about what are involved in coordinating an outing, here is the link Planning for Outing will help.
As soon as you decide to coordinate any of the coming outings, please let me know as soon as possible.

Silent Auction

For example, the older scouts may outgrow their backpack, hiking boots, etc. and it is good time to put them in the silent auction so the younger scouts will have opportunity to acquire those gears with a much affordable price than buying new.
