Chilkoot High Adventure Base is the ultimate scouting experience. These wilderness adventures are filled with exciting challenges and learning experiences. They offer young people a way to safely explore the incredible wilderness of Alaska’s mountains, rivers and fjords, and develop the skills for a lifetime of adventure and leadership. HAINES, ALASKA is the starting and finishing place for the Chilkoot High Adventure trips. Haines is a small community located along glacially carved fjords at the top of the Inside Passage. The natural beauty and wilderness access found here are responsible for Haines’ reputation as THE center for wilderness adventure in Alaska. The Boy Scouts of America works closely with the International Wilderness Leadership School (IWLS) to offer expert technical instruction, outdoor leadership training and world class wilderness experiences to scouts around the country. This unique scout camp gives scouts the opportunity for wilderness exploration, adventurous activities and outdoor leadership training under the tutelage of outdoor professionals. LEADERS
