Mountain Boarding: If you were not at the last National Scout Jamboree, then you may not have heard about this relatively new sport. It's kind of like snowboarding down a mountain without snow. Your board has oversized tires, and you can control your speed with a handbrake. We have adapted some of the mountainous areas of camp to introduce this new program to Trailblazers. Each participant must attend a mandatory safety course, and agree to wear all provided safety equipment.

Susquehanna River Float Trip- your choice of Canoe or Kayak to cruise on the river. Leave in the morning and have lunch on the river, arrive back in camp in time for supper. You MUST pass the BSA Swimmer's certification, and preferably have Canoeing MB, Kayaking BSA, or similar experience. A shakedown will occur prior to the outing to get a sense of skill levels of participants.

Overnight Horseback Trail Ride- You'll get to ride thru the various trails in camp on your way to the Outpost where you'll camp like a true cowboy. Dinner over an open fire, sleeping under the stars, and experiences like no other. Prior horsemanship experience suggested.

Night Climbing: Trailblazer participants will have exclusive use of the new indoor climbing wall after normal program hours are over- up until 10:30pm, complete with a crackerbarrel.

3-D Archery Challenge:  Be the first group each week to check out the 3-D Archery Course, complete with a multitude of realistic animal targets.  Other possibilities include a good ole’ fashioned stump shoot- stalking the woods with a traditional bow and rubber-tipped blunted arrows looking for much smaller targets such as rubber rats and rubber rocks concealed throughout the range.

Pitch and Putt Golf:  The Sixth Annual Bashore Scout Reservation Golf Outing will once again prove to be an exciting adventure.  With a new format for the season, things should prove to be both exciting and challenging on the links.  Aim for par as you enjoy a round with friends. Small fee of $5 to participate.

Bike Hike:  Explore the Swatara State Park's abandoned highway roads on your bicycle. There will be some special activities along the way, following clues and compass bearings. Participants are required to bring their own bike and helmet for this activity. (The camp has a limited number of bikes available if needed.) Have your own bikes inspected and tuned prior to bringing it to camp.

Anchor Hike:  You are not a full member of the Bashore Trailblazer experience until you have gazed down upon camp from atop the Anchor, a rock formation on our neighboring mountain the lies roughly in the shape of a Navy anchor.  Not only is this a great hike for the spectacular view, but also a frequent opportunity to spy various critters not often seen in camp.
