High Adventure rally

About 15 years ago, the annual High Adventure Rally for the Sam Houston Area Council was started. The rally would include a sign-up to attend Philmont, Sea Base, or Northern Tier Canoe Base for the upcoming summer. Representatives from the National BSA high adventure bases were on hand to answer questions.

Today, the High Adventure Rally is the most instructional resource available to unit leaders who are beginning their search for alternative venues to BSA national high adventure bases. High Adventure Rally Presentation Units, having been selected through analysis of National Tour Permits, represent the “All Star Team”.

The “All Star Team” is the best of the best of the best units who have taken high adventure trips outside of the national high adventure camps. These units are available at the rally to explain to other scouts, scouters, and parents the details of their respective trips including costs, travel plans, contacts, and helpful hints. The High Adventure Rally showcases these units which have shown the leadership and ability to build their own tailored high adventure program for boys in their respective units.

The High Adventure Rally is held annually in September sponsored by the Council’s High Adventure Committee.
