WHAT IS HIGH ADVENTURE?
BSA defines High Adventure in many ways. Essentially any activity designed for older boys and girls that involves adventure challenges or wilderness experience (afoot or afloat), or may include high altitude, extreme weather conditions, cold water, exposure, fatigue, and/or remote conditions where readily available medical care cannot be assured.
Each of the specialized training courses builds from the foundation gained by completion of the "HAT CORE". Completion of the HAT CORE Course (for having an existing HAT number) is a prerequisite for all other courses. Those attending the specialized training (BBA, Okpik, Paddle Sports, Cycling Awareness, Climbing Instructor Awareness, or Wilderness First Aide) will be expected to have the skills required to attain the merit badges for these activites prior to the course.
