High adventure is at the heart of Troop 93
High adventure is a central part of Troop 93's program. Our activity highlights include High Sierra backpacking, the John Muir Trail, Colorado River canoeing, and American River rafting.
Scouts start with hikes and introductory backpacking, building toward more challenging outings as their skills and experience grow. Along the way, they practice preparation, teamwork, and leadership. You don't have to aim for a backcountry trek to belong here. Camping, service, discovery, and leadership are equally valued parts of troop life.
The Orange County Council High Adventure Team (OCCHAT) offers trek ideas, adult leader training, and trail awards to help troops explore what's possible.
Many interests. One troop.
Find what excites you
Love the outdoors? Enjoy making things, helping others, or learning something new? Our broad program gives scouts different ways to participate and contribute. Try something familiar, discover a new interest, and build friendships along the way.
Hiking & backpacking
Scouts build confidence on beginner hikes and first backpacking trips, then work toward bigger mountain adventures.
Program highlights: Mount Baldy day hikes, High Sierra backpacking, and the John Muir Trail.
Adventures on the water
Canoeing and rafting bring a different kind of teamwork, along with opportunities to learn swimming and water safety skills.
Program highlights: Colorado River canoeing, American River rafting, and the Swimming merit badge.
Service in our community
Giving back is part of scouting. Our scouts pitch in on projects that support neighbors and care for shared outdoor spaces.
Program highlights: Love Fullerton, Scouting for Food, native plant restoration, and trail work.
Cycling & outdoor challenges
There is always a new challenge to try, whether it is riding with friends, learning to climb, or tackling a ropes course.
Program highlights: holiday rides to the beach, rock climbing, and campouts with a ropes course.
STEM, skills & discovery
Hands-on projects and merit badges give curious scouts ways to make things, explore new subjects, and develop practical skills.
Program highlights: map and compass, wilderness first aid, knot tying, 3D printing, and scout leadership training.
More than a destination
Scouts help make the adventure happen
At Troop 93, scouts help plan and run the program. The patrol method gives them a small team to work with, responsibilities to take on, and opportunities to learn from one another.
Adult leaders provide guidance while scouts practice making decisions. Planning a trip, preparing for the outdoors, and helping a newer scout all turn leadership into something they can do, rather than just talk about.
How our troop worksBring an idea
Scouts' interests help shape the troop program. Patrol leaders bring their patrols' ideas into the Patrol Leaders Council, with adult guidance.
Build the skills
Meeting activities such as navigation, first aid, and knot tying give scouts a chance to practice skills they can use outdoors.
Take responsibility
Outings put teamwork and preparation into practice. As scouts gain experience, they can take on leadership roles and help others learn.
A place to start. Room to grow.
Different interests. Different starting points.
You don't need outdoor experience or a passion for high adventure to get involved. Start with the activities that interest you, whether that's a first campout, a service project, a merit badge, or learning to lead. Scouts build skills at their own pace, with opportunities to try new things and take on bigger challenges when they're ready.
Start with the basics
First hikes, introductory backpacking, and advancement outings give new scouts a place to begin. Learning to prepare a pack and work with a patrol is part of the adventure.
