The youth of our communities NEED YOUR HELP! Hundreds of youth in the Texas Trails Council are looking for adventure in Scouting and not finding it. The Texas Trails Council is dedicated to providing Council High Adventure and Scouting Expeditions to them. However, we can not do it alone. Your knowledge and experience in leading High Adventure treks to Boy Scouts and Venturers is the missing ingredient we need. If you currently lead high adventure treks, would like to start, or have youth that are looking for adventure, please contact the Scout office.

Get out of the house and into the excitement offered at one of the BSA's High Adventure™ Bases! You've got three choices: a unique aquatic quest at the Florida Sea Base; a canoeing or winter camping challenge at the Northern Tier; or a wild west backpacking expedition at the Philmont Scout Ranch.

Florida Sea Base

Make a splash! Head to the Florida Keys and dive into an amazing Florida Sea Base adventure and wade into more excitement than you ever though possible. Snorkeling, SCUBA, boating, and beach camping are among the many possibilities.

Northern Tier

Don't miss the boat! One of the most beautiful, and remote parts of North America offers a unique opportunity for Scouts. Canoeing, hiking, fishing, and winter camping in and around the beautiful lakes of northern Minnesota and southern Canada await you at the Northern Tier.

Philmont Scout Ranch

Take a hike! The mountains of New Mexico offer the adventure that you have always dreamed about. Backpacking, rock climbing, western lore, living history, and the views from peaks over 10,000 feet tall will make memories that last a lifetime.

High Adventure is a chance to try something you may never experience again. So take adventure to the limit. You'll never forget it.
