Stosh 3452 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 It's really too bad the scout isn't old enough for high adventure programs like Philmont, NT or Sea Base. Maybe someday.... Link to post Share on other sites
Gone 435 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 Kids from that part of the country are ready by 12. We do a ton of HA here. He's over qualified. Link to post Share on other sites
Eagle94-A1 2676 Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 One of the 11 year olds in my troop has more backpacking miles on his feet than I do. He's done several sections of the AT with his dad. He was the Scout that did the backpacking instruction a few weeks back. In fact dad said Boy Scouts is cramping his camping with all the plop camping we do. He's talking about him and his son doing the Philmont prep trips. Link to post Share on other sites
