The high-adventure parts of Scouting are critical in the development of successful young men. My belief is that Scout backpacking is different than other backpacking because it fosters camaraderie and leadership within the Troop and the Patrol – not just from the hike, but also because of all the time the groups spends together getting ready for the actual 50 miler.  Scout backpacking and other high-adventure activities provide an opportunity for life-changing learning experiences – it is fun and challenging at the same time.  Every Scout should complete at least one 50-miler or go to Philmont before they are a serious Eagle candidate.

A little about me. I have more than 2,000 miles of Scout backpacking experience and 300 nights of Scout camping in the past ten years. During that time, I have mentored more than 40 Eagle Scouts, attended National and World Jamborees, been awarded a Silver Beaver, and helped with other Scout-related activities like Camporee, Woodbadge, and District Committees. My son is an Eagle Scout.

Contact me with any questions or if you need help with an outing.
