[quote=Anonymous]Scouting America, formerly Scouts BSA, formerly Boy Scouts of America, have a whole bunch of great local camps that accept provisional campers and are not merit badge camps. You want to look for local high adventure camps when you search but there are 7 night/6 day camps that include a 5 day backpacking/canoeing/sailing/whitewater rafting camps that run 500-700 dollars for a week, not including transportation. You should not have high transportation costs if you  choose one of the ones in Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, or North Carolina. You do need to be a member of Scouts BSA. There are programs for both boys and girls. I know of Lenhok'sin (backpacking and canoeing), Knob Hill (Backpacking), Summit (backpacking, whitewater rafting, atv adventure but a national program so more expensive), and Pipsico (scuba, sailing)

There are also national high adventure camps, Philmont, Summit, Sea Base, and Northern Tier, that have longer programs 9-21 days, that Scouts can go on with their Troop or as a Provisional Scout. They are more expensive, 1,600-2,000 dollars, not including travel.

If your child is a member of a Troop, then they can put together a Troop Crew and go with friends. Then the Troop needs to provide a minimum of 2 adult leaders, some programs require 3 leaders.
