Camps & High Adventure
One of the best parts of Scouting are the great opportunities to get out and explore new adventures. BSA offers a number of camps throughout the summer, and the High-Adventure camps are some of the most challenging, but most rewarding, experiences your Scout can have.
Troop 131 has a High-Adventure Committee, as well as a Summer Camp Chair. If you are interested in any of these programs, or in helping out with Summer Camp, please let us know!
