Where We Go
Answering the Call of Adventure
In scouting, we believe that everything great happens outside. Which is why, in addition to our regular monthly campouts, Troop 380 scouts enjoy a fun-filled week each summer at one of the many incredible national BSA camps. Over the past several years, our scouts have visited Skymont Scout Reservation in Tennessee, Camp Daniel Boone in North Carolina, Camp Rockefeller in Arkansas, Camp Ben Delotour in Colorado and Camp Tom Hale in Oklahoma, and Camp Arrowhead in Missouri.

High Adventure
In order to develop character, citizenship, and personal fitness, young people need the opportunity to push past their comfort zones in real world settings that help them understand who they are and envision who they can become. High adventure programs provide crucial experiences that help young people clarify their values, goals and vision for the future.
Troop 380 Summer 2019 High Adventure at Bahamas Seabase
Sea Base is offering an exciting adventure based in Marsh Harbour on Great Abaco Island. Your crew can snorkel the beautiful, pristine reefs surrounding Marsh Harbour, wade ashore on the many small cays (pronounced keys) in the area, learn their unique history, and fish for the game-fish which are abundant in the Abacos. You’ll board traditional Bahamas sailing vessels designed to take you to such exotic places as Green Turtle Cay, Hopetown and Little Harbour. There’s plenty of time for fishing, snorkeling and swimming. Steady breezes, the protection of the barrier islands and the reef surrounding Abaco Sound provide perfect sailing getaways. This adventure can accommodate crews of 6-8 or 10-12 based on availability. This is a six-night, seven-day adventure.
