2025 High Adventure Trek
The 2025 Youth Applications have Closed !
Is your Scout ready to take their Scouting journey to the next level?
The application period for 2025 Scoutreach High Adventure Treks will begin in July! Your Scout could be hiking breathtaking vistas at Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico or living amongst the diverse sea life of the Florida Keys at Sea Base.
High Adventure Treks are unique opportunities for Scouts to test their many skills and explore their limits under the guidance of trained professionals. Learn more about what each trek has to offer below.
SEA BASE
At Sea Base, you will camp under a canopy of gumbo limbo trees, mangroves, and lush vegetation. Each day will be action-packed. From Big Munson Island your crew will ocean kayak, snorkel the Florida Barrier Reef, take part in deep sea fishing excursions, night snorkel, and explore the largest wilderness on Earth. If you are seeking a unique primitive camping experience and a tropical adventure then Sea Base is for you.
PHILMONT SCOUT RANCH
Philmont Scout Ranch is the Scouts’ largest National High Adventure Base with dozens of camps scattered across rugged terrain that ranges in elevation from 6,500 to 12,441 feet. Philmont offers an unforgettable backpacking adventure with programs that feature the best of the Old West—horseback riding, burro packing, gold panning, and chuckwagon dinners. It’s an unbeatable recipe for fast-paced fun in the outdoors.
Selected Scouts will be assessed an additional fee of $300, due by May 15th, 2025; other costs associated with Travel (such as Airline and Ground Transportation) will be covered by the Atlanta Area Council.
