Latimer High Adventure weekend, October 28-30, 2022, is the opportunity to take your Scouting experiences to the next level. You sign up like you do for Merit Badge Dayz, but the program is different from a traditional Scout Merit Badge Dayz. These adventure treks are a two-day themed focused adventure at Latimer Scout Reservation but are not designed to earn a merit badge. Instead, these treks all about having fun, making memories, and getting to experience the great outdoors with other Scouts.

We have treks for biking, conservation, climbing, hiking, and shooting. You will spend the weekend on the plateau and experience all that Tennessee has to offer. The treks are limited, so sign up early. To participate in these treks, A youth must be 14 years of age OR 13 years of age and completed the 8th grade by date of participation.
