High Adventure
The High Adventure/Sports field of emphasis provides every Varsity Scout team with interesting and challenging physical activities.

Once the team completes its training, it can plan and take part in high-adventure opportunities and or sports activities.
The opportunities for high adventure that are available to Varsity Scouts are limited only by their imaginations. Among the many great possibilities are the following high-adventure activities:
