Yes 2027! TWO spots remain!

Attention T 42!! This will be the troop's first time to Summit for the ATV experience, and our first time doing a High Adventure trip at Summit! (not including Jamboree) This is a separate event the year AFTER Jambo

We have booked to spots for the very exclusive Summit High Adventure base in West Virginia for Summer 2027!
The first group will be June 4--10th (plus travel), the next will be June 11 - 17th (plus travel).
We had to book very early to secure these dates. These dates will be after high school is over that year, and before summer camp at Royaneh / NYLT. This is also before nearly all other non scout related summer programs/ academic programs etc.

T42 Cotton Sweatshirt option available!

New T42 Sweatshirt option!

Some of you have been asking about a heavier cotton sweatshirt! It is now available!

It is recommended you get the sport tek/ full synthetic one for rainy weather situations, but the cotton blend one is a heavy weight option for dry weather, summer camp etc!
