High Adventure / Sports
The High Adventure/Sports field of emphasis provides every Varsity Scout team with interesting and challenging physical activities. Through the efforts of the Programs Manager and adult advisor, team members can become skilled in activities ranging from snow camping to soccer. Once the team completes its training, it can plan and take part in high-adventure opportunities and or sports activities.
