Troop 55 High Adventures continue to move forward.

We have 20 scouts and adults headed to SeaBase in March. Final swim tests are this weekend.

We have 2 crews headed to OKPIK next January. One for Ice stay and one for cabin stay.

We will go to Bechtal Summit in 2027 for the FIRST time. We have 2 crews going. One will be doing the water adventure and the other the Summit Experience. We still have room to add a few more to both crews. Email us if you want to join us! Our goal is to fill both crews.
