Participant and Leader Requirements

Each participant in High Adventure programs must be a registered Boy Scout, Varsity Scout, Venturer or Explorer as well as 13 years of age by January 1 of the year of participation. Trek members must have group camping experience. Co-ed groups are required to include one male and one female adviser.

Registered Girl Scouts who have completed the eighth grade and have overnight camping experience may participate in the high adventure program. All Girl Scout groups will adhere to the Safety-Wide requirements for canoe trips.

The Otetiana Council and Massawepie Scout Camps are receptive to the needs of those individuals with special needs. The Trek Lodge and facilities meet all ADA requirements, and trek programs are open to all individuals with special needs. Trip details may be adjusted to the abilities of the individuals. All participants in canoeing treks must pass the National Boy Scouts of America swim test. At least one leader participating in the trek is encouraged to be certified in Red Cross Responding to Emergencies. Out-of-state groups should check with the Red Cross for a comparable course. All groups are required to follow all National Boy Scouts of America safety guidelines and wilderness use policies.
