Floodwood Mountain Scout Reservation operates an Open Program. Your trek is fully customizable by the troop.
The many lakes and 46 high peaks of the Adirondacks offer endless opportunities for different treks, outfitted through the West Pine Pond Backpacking Center. In fact your unit could go to Floodwood Mountain Scout Reservation for the next 20 years and never take the same trek twice. The Rollins Pond Canoe Base's strategic location allows for access to a chain of many lakes in the area. It is possible for your unit to plan a 50 miler canoe trip and never have to portage (cross Land). Depending on the preferences of your unit, you may choose to do a week long canoe trek or a Week long High Peaks trek, or anything in between.
On these treks you are not alone. Your Voyageur will guide your unit throughout your journey. A Voyageur is a trained Guide by BSA Standards and New York State Standards. You will first meet your Voyageur the day you get to camp and he will work with you to assess your level of ability for your trek. He will be there to teach you about Hiking and Canoeing and Low Impact Camping. He will then join you and stay with you throughout your trek. Upon return from your adventure, you will have the opportunity to Rock Climb and Water ski, as long as you have your Class III Medical Form & FMR Supplement (available through NNJ Council) For information on fees, see the Council page.
