Troop 201 Families,

Troop leadership wanted to provide an important update regarding our planned Sea Base High Adventure trek.

Unfortunately, due to a miscommunication regarding registration responsibilities and timing, our troop did not complete the reservation process before Sea Base's Summer 2027 trek slots filled. As a result, there are currently no available June or July 2027 openings that can accommodate our troop, and we will not be able to conduct a Sea Base High Adventure trek during Summer 2027.

The troop's adult leadership recognizes that we missed the registration opportunity and is taking steps now to ensure we are prepared for the 2028 registration cycle. We know many Scouts and parents were excited about the opportunity, and we regret the disappointment this news may cause.

The good news is that we already have tremendous interest in the trip, with 24 total participants signed up on the troop website. Rather than abandoning the effort, we are shifting our focus to Summer 2028 and intend to be fully prepared when registration opens in January 2027. With these numbers we may actually have enough to support three full crews!

I am also pleased to announce that Kristin DeFranco and Korina Blair have agreed to serve as the co-coordinators for the Sea Base High Adventure 2028 Trek. They will help lead the planning effort, coordinate communications, organize participant information, and ensure we are prepared to secure our reservations when registration opens. We appreciate their willingness to step forward and help make this adventure a success.

What Happens Next?
