  1. Does anyone here know what National is doing with the National Medal for Outdoor Achievement? https://www.scouting.org/programs/scouts-bsa/advancement-and-awards/noa/ The medals have been removed from Scout Stores and supposedly all collected by National and destroyed. The medal itself is a janky piece of junk, so flimsy and lame. But the level achievement you need to reach to earn it is super impressive. I for one think it would be an absolute shame if National discontinued this medal. And doing so without any comment period, skulking away in the dead of night, seems super shad
  2. ...Our Troop had never done anything like this—at least not since 2017, when the oldest boy joined the Troop. I became Scoutmaster for the Troop in November 2021 and told the boys that we would begin preparing for a High Adventure backpacking trip, somewhere out west, for the summer of 2023. Over the next 18 months, Troop 422 elevated and refined its camping and backcountry skills in preparation for the adventure. With backpack space and weight at a premium, the Troop diligently learned to do more with less. It traded large four burner camp stoves and well-equipped camping kitchens for
  3. Talking about janky cheap medals in an earlier thread, this medal is most certainly not!! We just had 2 adults and 2 scouts earn this beauty! The thing is weighty! To earn this the Scouts (and Adults) had to earn 4 separate local High Adventure Awards. As part of that they had to complete: A 2 (or more) backpack to the summit of Mt San Gorgonio (11,503 ft) A 2 (or more) backpack to the summit of Mt San Bernardino (10.649 ft) A 2 (or more) backpack to the summit of Mt San Jacinto (10,834 ft) A day hike to the summit of Mt Antonio (aka Mt Baldy) (10,064 ft)
  4. Just taking the troop to a place like Tanzania is far more "high adventure" than most scouts ever experience, but one troop from Connecticut has not only done it once, but twice, and they also climbed to the summit of Mt Kilimanjaro --- 19,341 feet. Now that's what I call a troop with an appetite for "high adventure"!!!

  5. If you want to register your troop for a trek at Philmont for 2021, the lottery opens on Monday... https://www.philmontscoutranch.org/registersection/
  6. Headed to the boundary waters in July. Went once 20 years ago, but looking for tips, tricks and recommendations on your experience. Seems like there is plenty of information on what foot wear to wear and not to wear. But looking for additional information. Favorite Lakes/Portages and why? Waterproof map case vs zip lock bag (do you really need one for each canoe)? First Aid Kit recommendations? Paddling gloves or not? What I wish I brought vs what I wish I didn't bring? Thanks in advance! What did I forget to ask?
  7. Hey guys. I just launched a kickstarter for my new product, the Yak Sak. It's get some cool little features to it, and a homeless person gets a sleeping bag with every Yak Sak Purchased. Can you check out the kickstarter, and let me know what you think? http://kck.st/2iEBiEf Thanks! Jake
  8. I have a small Troop. The older Scouts want to go on a high adventure trip but they don't know where. All of them have been to Boundary Waters Canoe Wilderness Area. 1 has been to Philmont. I'm looking for ideas to give them. Where has your Troop gone? And it doesn't have to be BSA.
