Northern Tier is the premier Scouts BSA experience for canoeing and winter camping. We offer many different trek options for Scout troops and individuals seeking a high adventure opportunity.

Summer in North Americas Canoe Country is a time like no other. With lakes stretching as far as the eye can see, all connected through a large web of waterways, Scouts can travel effortlessly across them in specially designed tripping canoes. Completing short portages between waterways brings scouts from lake to lake as they explore the vast biodiversity of the Northern Boreal Forest unique to Northern Minnesota and Canada
