High adventure activities and locations are the heart of the Scouting experience. Many of our scouts do not have access to the equipment or transportation to experience these life changing opportunities. Help make outdoor adventures accessible to all of our scouts.
THE WILDEST PLACES BUILD THE BEST MEMORIES!
There’s nothing quite like the rush of a mountain summit or the stillness of a lake at dawn. These are the moments that define Scouting—and they’re made possible through the Outdoor Adventure Fund. This fund bridges the financial gap for families, covering costs for camp, gear, and transportation so every Scout can explore the wild.
Outdoor adventure develops more than outdoor skills. It teaches problem-solving, perseverance, and teamwork in a way no classroom can. Whether it’s a weekend campout or a week-long trek, each experience helps youth grow in confidence and resilience.
By supporting this fund, donors aren’t just underwriting a trip—they’re unlocking a lifetime of memories, mentorship, and growth. Every dollar gives a Scout access to the natural world and the life lessons that come with it.
“Before the Outdoor Adventure Fund, my son never imagined hiking a real mountain. This fund opened a whole new world to him.”
