Northern Tier 2020

Founded in 1923, Northern Tier is the oldest High Adventure Program in the Boy Scouts of America. For over 90 years, Scouts at Northern Tier have paddled pristine lakes, sweated over rugged portages and explored the untrammeled wilderness of the Great North American Canoe Country.

Philmont Scout Ranch is the Boy Scouts of America’s largest National High Adventure Base. Born in 1938 as Philturn Rocky Mountain Scout Camp, Philmont has become a bustling center for high adventure and training. It covers 140,177 acres of rugged mountain wilderness in the Sangre de Cristo range of the Rocky Mountains in northeastern New Mexico.
