The GSLAC High Adventure

Committee’s

Back Country Leadership Skills Training Course

is for the adult Scouter, senior Scout

and Venturer who understands how

High Adventure can keep your

outdoor program exciting for older

Scouts. This course will give you the

knowledge, skills, and confidence to

realize your vision of High Adventure

in your troop or crew. Deliver the

promise of Adventure in Scouting to

your unit!

We’ll gather Friday night and sleep indoors

while we plan the overnight hike. Saturday morning we’ll start our hike and finish Sunday afternoon. After the outdoor

practical experience weekend, you’ll be prepared to take these skills and knowledge

back to your unit.

Do you have the skills and

confidence to teach your Scouts to

lead High Adventure Crews?

Are you ready to be a High

Adventure Crew Advisor or Crew
