Ridgeline - Base Camp for Adventure!

What distinguishes an older Scout from a younger one? Aside from some obvious physical changes, the biggest difference is likely in how they express their sense of adventure. Older boys tend to become less interested in advancement and recognition, and more interested in taking risks and developing new skills. Part of the focus of Scouting's high adventure program is to teach older boys new skills while engaging them in activities that feel dangerous but are organized to be safe. It's this focus on trying new things and doing hard things that drives the program at Ridgeline Adventure Base. This high-altitude adventure venue offers 3-day intense sessions of high-adrenaline experiences.

There's Something About a Campfire

When you get them around a campfire after a long and satisfying day of adventure, it is often surprising to find that boys who usually won’t talk at all become boys who will talk about anything.  Give them a comfy camp chair and a listening ear, and the campfire draws them out. 

So the question is, what are your boys doing for adventure next summer? 

Where will you see them around a campfire?
