High Adventure Programs and Photo Albums There are special learning experiences available in scouting outside the realm of the troops council area. There are four national high adventure programs available to scouts. Because these adventures are of a high physical demand during a seven to 14 day outing in the wilderness, there are some minimum age requirements. Generally, the scout has to be no younger than thirteen or fourteen, depending on the specific program. The three national programs are: Florida
Sea Base Islamorada, Florida

---- Troop
61 attended Sea Base from July 26th to August 3rd, 2010
Northern
Tier
Canoe Base Ely, Minnesota http://www.ntier.org/ Philmont Ranch Cimarron,
New Mexico http://www.philmont.com/ The Summit New River Gorge, West Virginia http://www.summitblog.org/programs/
In addition to these three national level programs, there are 55 council high adventures and 17 more specific advanced programs. Here is a link for more information on these "High Adventures" http://usscouts.org/netresources/ha.asp Members of Troop 61 regularly
