The Outdoor Adventure Place (TOAP) is a place where a Scout can pick up some skills and have some fun. The TOAP staffers have been working hard to get their site ready for all the participants. They have set up many high adventure activities and have arranged for several government agencies to provide informative displays for the NOAC participants.

Arrowmen also had the opportunity to receive a badge proclaiming them Junior  Park Rangers for NOAC 2000.

 

Another great part of TOAP is the "Leave No Trace" training class, which is the largest training subject with approximately 800 Arrowmen attending. It has set up a mountain man display, to discuss conservation in the back woods.

There was a display on winter camping, wilderness survival, backcountry first aid and cooking.  The pioneering area provided participants with instruction on knots, lashings and tips on construction projects.

These tires are tricky! The high adventure area included all sorts of fun things to do. There was a monkey bridge and cargo net, a spider's web, a tire swing, a blind man's maze and a horizontal climbing wall.  A "swinging" time for everyone at TOAP.
