Shoot, Swim & Climb Southeast Louisiana Council The 3rd annual Shoot Swim & Climb. This event was a great success last year with more than 350 campers. It is sure to be bigger and better this year. All of the FUN activities of Summer Camp rolled into one day. We will open the pool, the climbing tower for climbing and rappelling, the rifle range with reactive targets, shotgun range with 3 trap houses, standard archery, sporting archery in the front parking lot, canoes, kayaks, standup paddle boards and other water craft in the lake and many other activities in between. The event is designed to be what we call FREE STYLE. This is an event with very limited scheduling. Scouts will rotate between activities at their own pace selecting which activities they would like to participate in.

Missouri River Canoe Trek Mid-American Council Tri-State High Adventure Base Canoe up to 162 miles down the "Mighty MO", visiting State and National Parks along the way. Camp in a diverse series of settings, from primitive campsites along the river to "city camping" in Sioux City. See areas of the Missouri River rarely seen by travelers since the days of Lewis and Clark; stop along the way on remote islands and sandbars that have virtually never felt a human foot.

Missouri River Canoe Trek Mid-American Council Tri-State High Adventure Base On your expedition, you can expect great programming at some of the following stops: Little Sioux Scout Ranch:  All Expeditions begin and end at LSSR, in the beautiful Loess Hills in Iowa.  Crews will get specialized river canoe training, including water rescue and river navigation, to aid them on their journey. Ponca State Park: Practice archery, go swimming, participate in an available horseback ride, and more! Sioux City:  Learn the history of the Missouri River first-hand as you explore Lewis & Clark Interpretive Center, along with other historical markers.  Then visit the Long Lines Recreation Center to climb their 42-foot indoor climbing wall! Beck Memorial Park:  This river-side camp is a great balance of "rustic" camping for the Crew, but with all the comforts of home...including a POP MACHINE!  Crews will have a chance to cook a "Lewis & Clark Inspired Meal" and enjoy a night of Scout games.  (Leaders will have a chance to enjoy a shower!) Riverfront, Omaha:  Those Crews completing the entire "T-SHAB 150" will land at the historic Lewis & Clark Landing, arriving in full view of the beautiful Omaha city skyline.
