GTBAC Contingents currently go on 12-day expeditions (14 days with travel) into the backcountry with the itinerary being picked by the Scouts at the annual Philmont Training weekend/shakedown.
FLORIDA SEA BASE
BSA Aquatic Adventures start at the Florida Sea Base. GTBAC Contingents currently go on either the Keys Sailing Adventure or on an expedition out of the Brinton Environmental Center, such as the Marine Eco Expedition or Big Munson Out Island Adventure.
NORTHERN TIER
Northern Tier promises the Scouting adventure of a lifetime in the Great North Woods of Northern Minnesota and Canada. GTBAC Contingents currently center on backcountry canoe trips out of the Charles L Sommers Base in Ely, MN.
