High Adventure

High Adventure trips are an important and fun part of the Scouting experience with Troop 642.

We normally take High Adventure trips in the odd numbered years and try to send crews to Philmont in the even numbered years, if space is available.

Philmont

Philmont is considered by most Scouts to be the greatest experience in Scouting. The ranch is located in northern New Mexico near the city of Cimarron, New Mexico. The trip consists of a 10 day backpacking trip through the mountains of New Mexico.
​Our High Adventure trips are done in crews with a crew leader, and both Scout and father crew members. We have been to Hawaii, Washington state, Colorado and on several Navy ships. Next to Philmont, this is considered one of the great experiences of Scouting within our Troop.
