What is Northern Tier?

Northern Tier is a National BSA High Adventure Camp.  We had one crew that went on a nine day canoeing trek.  We will start by traveling to base camp in Bissett, Manatoba, Canada, and then fly via a float plane into a canoe cache in the Atikaki Provincial Park.  We will be canoeing in North America’s Canoe Country, a vast series of navigable lakes and rivers spanning thousands of square miles. This Country includes waterfalls and bogs, bears and wolves, granite crags and waist-deep mud.  We will go on unique treks through the various waterways, including canoeing, swimming, fishing, and great camping.

Who is eligible to go to Northern Tier?

  • Must be 14 years old by the time we leave, or 13 and completed 8th grade;
  • Must be over 100 lbs; and
  • Must be Star rank or above.

For more information, please visit the Northern Tier Website, or read the 2014 Participant Handbook.
