Are you ready for a great adventure? We have booked a trip to the Summit in West Virginia to participate in the highly-sought-after and hard-to-get ATV High Adventure Trek. You can check out the details of the program here: https://www.summitbsa.org/programs/national-high-adventure-base/trek/atv-trek/
Our program runs June 21-27, 2024. We will most likely drive to the Summit early the morning on June 21 and return to Atlanta late in the evening on June 27. This program is for Scouts who are at least 14 years old by the time the trip starts. We estimate the trip will cost about $1975. We must have at least 8 participants/adults but we can take up to 12! Trip cost includes everything (except for personal equipment) from departure to arrival and requires at least two adults to drive personal vehicles. If you'd like to see the required personal equipment, check out pages 7 and 8 of this guide: https://www.summitbsa.org/programs/national-high-adventure-base/trek/atv-trek/

ASI (ATV SAFETY INSTITUTE) E-COURSE www.atvsafety.org/atv-ecourse
Prior to your arrival, each participant must complete the 2 ½ hour free ATV e-course. The link to that class is above and upon completion either print the certificate or take a screen shot (that includes their name and course ID number). This information will be given to your instructors on the first day of your experience prior to taking the “hands-on” ATV Rider S-Course.
