Troop 5 High Adventure

The High Adventure Program is designed for older boys who are interested in more challenging activities. To participate in this program, you must be Star Rank or above. Most activities are for boys 14 and older, but some activities will be scheduled for Star rank boys under this age depending on the activity. If you're not Star yet, think about the fun you might be missing!


All activities are planned by the boys with minimal guidance from the adult leaders. Activities can be linked to a regular troop event, such as a bike trek or two-day hike ending at the same campsite as the rest of the troop, or a separate event. The boys are the ones who decide what will be done and how often they want to plan an event.

Below is a list of some of the activities offered at High Adventure Bases throughout the country. It is only intended to give you an idea of what might be planned. Since the boys plan events that interest them and the group is always changing, the activities planned will change over the years. To schedule a trip to one of these bases, consult the BSA High Adventure Directory. Some bases may have minimum age requirements.
