The Council High Adventure Committee has been established to oversee all High Adventure opportunities done at the Council level. This includes the Blue Goose High Adventure Base, National High Adventure Base treks (i.e. Sea Base, Philmont, Northern Tier, etc.) plus any other High Adventure Programs to be introduced to older Scouts and Venture Scouts.
The committee is looking for Scout and Venture leaders who would like to help by:
·
Promoting and Assisting in the promotion of the Blue Goose Adventure Base to units of the Northwest Suburban Council and units from other Councils. Promotions at District Roundtables, and at Camp Napowan (during mug club meetings, Leader Steak Fry, etc.) and working with the staff at Camp Napowan to help offer the best program possible.
·
Program promotion within each District which will oversee and assist in the planning and promotion of High Adventure Treks at the other National High Adventure Bases (Philmont, Sea Base, etc.)
If you are interested in helping and feel you can be of help with this planning and promotion effort, please contact Glenn West – Council High Adventure Coordinator at 847-516-1044 or at gawest5@ameritech.net or by contacting the Council Program Office at 847-635-9404 or rtoland@bsamail.org.
