BOUNDARY WATER TRIP - AN OLDER SCOUT PROGRAM
Sunday - Friday of your summer camp week

Twin Valley Council and Northern Tier High Adventure have teamed together to create an exciting opportunity for Scouts this summer in conjunction with your week at Camp Cuyuna.  A 5-day Boundary Waters Trip!  Each week there will be a trip to the Northern Tier High Adventure Base near Ely, MN.

Scouts will travel to Camp Cuyuna with their troop on Sunday arriving by a designated time.  We will then transport those headed to Ely from Camp Cuyuna to the Northern Tier High Adventure Base where they'll spend the next five days on a canoe trek in the Boundary Waters.  On Friday, all will arrive back at Northern Tier base camp and travel back to Camp Cuyuna in time for the closing campfire and to head back home with their troop on Saturday.

Space is limited on this adventure.  Each week a "crew" of 8 people will head out for their adventure.  This will include 2 adult leaders.  The crew of 8 will consist of youth and adults from all units at camp that particular week.  In weeks when crew is not large enough or adult volunteers are not available, we will work with Northern Tier to pair our youth with another Council's contingent.

Adults - this is the perfect time to experience a short trek within the Boundary Waters with a seasoned ranger.  Experiencing the trek, the canoes, the equipment and gaining valuable knowledge first hand will aid in planning such a troop event.  Don't miss out on this opportunity!

The cost of this trip is $475 with $100 deposit due at registration and $375 due by May 1, 2019.    Please note, you will be registering through Northern Tier, not the Twin Valley Council site.  Here is the link:
