Adventure West Virginia


This program is designed for older Scouts, Scouters, and Venture Crews and provides an exciting alternative to the traditional merit badge program. Participants will tour the Greenbrier Valley through a fun-filled week of adventure on the trail, under ground, over the river, and through the woods. Buckskin Scout Reservation acts as base camp while groups travel to a new adventure everyday. Start the week by hiking the Allegheny Trail and horseback riding to the top of Seneca Rocks . Adventurers will also have the opportunity to walk the boardwalk through the Glades and visit nearby Falls of Hills Creek. The program includes a wet and dirty exploration of Lost World Caverns that has participants crawling and squeezing through the tightest of spots to view beautiful cave formations. Finally, adventurers will travel 10 -15 miles down the famous New River. Experience rapids ranging from class 1 to class 5 that will challenge even the most experienced rafters, while providing a wet and fun time for all. The week includes a day of rest with a tour of nearby Greenbank National Radio Astronomy Observatory, as well as an opportunity to explore Buckskin Scout Reservation. If you don’t need a day of rest, additional side trips can be arranged for an additional cost. Possible trips include a train ride from Cass, WV to Bald Knob, rock climbing on the Nelson’s Rock via ferrata, or another caving trip in a local cavern. The cost for this exciting week is $350 per person if paid by May 15, and $375 if paid after May 15.
