Scouts who went on this last summer had a blast!
This trip will end 1 week before Camp Bell starts.
We have space for just 1 crew this summer so talk it over and get your reservation in.
Last summer a crew from Troop 160 and Troop 119 spent a week on the Allagash Wilderness Waterway in northern Maine. We now have a gallery of photos from this trip on the Troop website, and it looks like it was a pretty great trip. Take a look here.
Hi All,
I’m trying to put together a crew for a Maine High Adventure canoe trip similar to the one last summer.
The time frame (depending on availability) would be the last 2 weeks in July or first week of August.
Minimum age is 13 by January 1, 2009.
Let me know if you’re interested so we can get a slot for this summer.

Hi All:
Sorry for the late notice guys/gals. I have the info on a trip for the base in Maine. After speaking to Dave he recommends the 8 nights as one night/day is spent on orientation. I will bring some packets this Thursday, the trip is restricted to 13yr or older scouts and leaders. All food from arrival to departure is provided, and we can have a total of 11 people. I will need to know ASAP if there is enough interest. The departure dates given to me are as follows June 24th, 25th, 26th and 28th. These are the date we leave Lexington and start the trip. If we have a group all we need to do is pick the arrival date and book it. The Web site is http://www.mainehighadventure.org.
All dates lead into 4th of July weekend — some are before and some are during the weekend.
