As a part of our series highlighting council high adventure programs, we will be featuring Aqua Base in this edition. Aqua Base is a part of Pfeffer Scout Reservation on Kentucky Lake and a part of the Lincoln Heritage Council.
This is a great program for your older Scouts who want a new adventure at Summer Camp. This is a great program as it is a part of Camp Roy C Manchester that offers a traditional summer camp experience for your younger Scouts and those older Scouts not interested in sailing.
• In essence, the Scouts will leave camp on their boat on Monday morning and return on Friday in time for the closing campfire.
• The boats are 25-foot Catalina and Hunter Sail boats and will have 3-4 Scouts for the week under the leadership of a director.
• They will sail to numerous ports throughout the lake
• They will sleep on their boat each night.
• Cook their own meals
• This allows the Scouts to fish on the lake, develop teamwork and nautical skills and learn weather patterns.
• This is an awesome program, and we had 6 of our Scouts participate in the sailing adventure a few years ago and they had a blast. They were very excited to not have adults on the boat.

Requirements
• Minimum age is 14 by the start of camp.
• Small Boat sailing merit badge prior to arrival at camp
• Passed the BSA swim test
