St. Roch’s Boy Scout Troop 98 spent nine days at the Florida High Adventure Seabase this June.

The base is 34 miles north of Key West.

The thirteen Scouts and six adults spent much of the week snorkeling (both day and night outings), sailing, swimming and camping, plus an afternoon and evening R&R outing in Key West. One night they canoed to a deserted island and spent the night in a mangrove forest next to a swamp. Said Art Santen, one of the group leaders, “Everybody came back with bug bites, tans, and smiles.

It was truly a high adventure!”
