The Northern Tier High Adventure Program is every Scout's unique opportunity to explore one of America's most pristine areas of true wilderness.

Our group of eight from Troop 1916 spent eight wonderful, challenging, and fun days near the Boy Scout High Adventure Base near Ely, MN. For all of us, I think it was most probably the physically demanding week of our lives.

But to have had the privilege to canoe in the Boundary Waters made all the hard work and effort well worth it. Simply put: It was breathtakingly beautiful.
