Additional outings are planned for Scouts age 14+ who wish to challenge themselves. Our Venture outings have included biking trips, more challenging hikes and winter camping. Information and signups are distributed in person at our weekly meetings. Here are a few examples...
Venture Winter Mountains (14+)
Older scouts can participate in more challenging trips like a winter hike to conquer Mount Madison (a 5K summit, hiking over 4K elevation gain)! This outing included lots of planning and preparation. The clouds opened briefly and gave us a momentarily view of Mt. Washington. At the lower elevations, the boys took turns cutting up and clearing trees that fell across the trail. What a great time, and truly an adventure for the scouts and the adult leaders!
Venture Midnight Hike (14+)
Why hike in the daylight when you can hike at midnight! Older scouts enjoyed starting down the trail at 9:00pm, and completing over 7 miles by midnight! Headlamps and a full moon lit the way. Scouts set up tents, or slept under the stars. Scouts woke early to do some fishing at the nearby pond.
Venture Bike Trip (14+)
Older scouts put rubber to the pavement for extended bike trips over 200 miles! Leading up to the outing they did several bike shakedowns to ensure scouts and bikes were ready for the journey! Lots of laughs, a few skinned knees, and life long memories are the takeaways from our venture bike trips!
Venture Midnight Marathon Bike Ride (14+)
Light up your bike and take to the streets along the marathon route!
