Elkhorn High Adventure 2001 June 29 - July 9, 2001 Photo Album
The Elkhorn High Adventure Base is one of three camps located on the Ben Delatour Scout Ranch. The program has been put together to take advantage of the Ranch's magnificent location high in the Rocky Mountains of northern Colorado. Located just north of Rocky Mountain National Park and surrounded by Roosevelt National Forest, the Elkhorn High Adventure Base offers a unique experience for older Scouts and Venturers to hike, camp, and climb in the Rocky Mountains.

Florida Seabase 2000 July 2 - 9, 2000 Photo Album
Set sail for high adventure! You will snorkel in pristine reefs such as Fowl Cay Preserve and the Northeast End of Great Guana Cay. You will troll with fishing lures for snapper, grouper, barracuda, and shark. Fresh fish is a nice addition to the meals that your crew will cook in the ship’s galley. The captain will educate the crew in seamanship and leave the basic ship work to you. Teamwork within the crew will allow you to sail to different Bahamian Cays and settlements such as Hope Town and Man-O-War Cay. Exploring these sites and learning new cultures will really be exciting. Keep in mind the weather and the crew’s ability plays a large part in the flexibility of the schedule. This is not a pleasure cruise, but rather a working, sailing journey that involves teamwork, education, and safety for scouts and leaders alike. In addition to sailing duties, all scouts and leaders will clean the vessel including the head (toilet) and stand anchor watches at night.
