Venture Patrol High Adventure Program


Venture Patrol is designed to provide our older Scouts with opportunities for high adventure activities such as overnight backpacking, long term outings and any other activity they can imagine. 

Venture Patrol Qualifications:

*Scouts if they don't meet requirements #1 and #2 can still interview and challenge to join Venture Patrol. The ability and spirit of a Scout is more important than their age and rank.

Red Rope Challenge

The Red Rope Challenge was brought back from a Summer Camp by Mr. Porter. It ties the fourteen basic Scout BSA knots in under one minute. It is a great way to learn the basic knots and commit them to muscle memory. Practice ropes are blue and white. Once a Scout learns the sequence and feels they are ready to take the Red Rope Challenge, they schedule a time with a Scout who has completed the Red Rope Challenge to observe and time the effort performed in front of the entire Troop. If the Scout completes the Red Rope Challenge, they graduate from the blue and white practice rope to a red and white rope.

Order of the Arrow Honor Society

For over 100 years, the Order of the Arrow (OA) has recognized Scouts and Scouters who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives. This recognition provides encouragement for others to live these ideals as well. Arrowmen are known for maintaining camping traditions and spirit, promoting year-round and long term resident camping, and providing cheerful service to others. OA service, activities, adventures, and training for youth and adults are models of quality leadership development and programming that enrich and help to extend Scouting to America's youth.
