Troop 888’s annual high adventure trip took us to Northern Tier High Adventure Base for 2022. This trip was all about canoeing in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area in northern Minnesota. We had two crews who combined traveled nearly 150 miles through the wilderness. These trips build character, outdoor skills and friendships that last a lifetime.
