Scouts Tackle the Swamp

Jun 23, 2019
1 min read


This summer, McGee’s is excited to be the official trailhead for the Boy Scouts of America Swamp Base high adventure canoe program!


Throughout the months of June and July, hundreds of Scouts from across the country (some attending from as far away as California and Michigan) will travel to the swamp and depart from McGee’s to begin a 61.6-mile, 5 day canoe/camping trip through the Atchafalaya Basin. Operating for it’s 7th summer, during their treks through the swamp Scouts at Swamp Base will be introduced to the environment, the wildlife, the food, and the people that make South Louisiana so special.


The goal of the Swamp Base program is to challenge young, teach them leadership skills and teamwork, but ultimately to change their perceptions of what swamps are, so that they can be positively promoted and ultimately better protected for future generations to come.


If you happen to see Scouts on the water with their yellow paddles, we ask that you please practice patience and yield to them as they’re making their way through our area. Thanks!

I appreciated learning that Swamp Base has been running for seven summers and that the Scouts paddle from McGee's on that 61.6-mile route through the Atchafalaya Basin. It made me think about how capturing the feel of a journey like that is a bit like turning lyrics into song, where the details and the atmosphere have to come through together.

I really enjoyed reading this article and found it to be both informative and engaging. The way the topic was explained made it easy to understand, and the practical examples helped connect the concepts to real-life situations. It's refreshing to come across educational content that focuses on clarity rather than unnecessary complexity. As a university student, I often read blogs like this to broaden my understanding and discover new perspectives on different subjects. While exploring various academic resources online, I also came across Pay Someone To Do My Assignment, which is a phrase that often appears in discussions about the different kinds of academic support students look into during busy semesters. Regardless of the resources students use, articles like this…

This is a very informative and well-explained article. I really appreciate how the information has been presented in a simple and practical way, making it easier for students to understand the important factors they should consider before planning their study abroad journey. Choosing the right country, university, course, budget, and understanding the application process can be challenging, especially for first-time applicants. Students who need additional guidance can also connect with WTS Study Abroad Consultants for support with university selection, admissions, scholarships, documentation, and visa guidance. Overall, a very useful resource for students planning their international education.
