What do you think of when your hear or see the words HIGH ADVENTURE?

Do you think of hiking the Philmont wilderness?     Or sailing at Florida Sea Base?
Or canoeing the Boundary Waters in Northern Minnesota? The National Jamboree?
Or something else special that your troop does for the older Scouts.

High adventure is a big reason for staying in Boy Scouts!

The Scouts of Melrose Troop 68 have held several high adventure trips, usually every three years. The first was a trip to Philmont Scout Ranch in 1986. Then again in 1989, 1992, and 1998. The troop went to the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia for a trip in 1995. But it was back to Philmont once again in 2004. In 2001 they went to the National Jamboree in Virginia.

On some of these trips the group advisor (otherwise known as the scoutmaster) kept a journal of notes. Some of these journals he has actually written out in a complete story format. This page will bring you to those journals that have been completely written.

With the links found below you can see many pictures of these trips to Philmont, the High Noll Trail, Charles Sommers Canoe Base, and the National Jamboree. It may take you awhile to view them all. After all, there are over 600 pictures to see.

A word of warning though - These journals are long and are actually small books.
You may want to download them and read them after you are off-line if you are watching your online time.
