When I was a younger boy, one of the things I used to enjoy doing was going down into the #8 Woods and going rock hunting with my dad. He got me interested in looking for Indian arrowheads and also looking for fossils among the stones as we looked around the woods. There was a place at the edge of the woods that had been excavated a little bit, and the turned over soil was an excellent place to find stones of all types. The fossilized stones I saw got me thinking and wondering about dinosaurs and the creatures that ......

Nearly 100 years ago, Scouts made their first treks into the wilderness on the Minnesota-Canada border. You can register for special Northern Tier High Adventure treks in 2022, celebrating the Minnesota base’s 100th anniversary. Canoeing and fishing is a major part of the Northern Tier National High Adventure program during the summer, while Scouts can enjoy snowshoeing, ice fishing, skiing and dogsledding in the winter. Summer adventures offer the opportunity to explore millions of acres of lakes, waterfalls, forests and wetlands in northern Minnesota, northwest Ontario and northeast Manitoba. In the winter, Scouts and Venturers can travel across frozen ......

Spaces are still available for 2021 programs at both the high-adventure base and the Scouts BSA resident camp, James C. Justice National Scout Camp. Here’s ......
