How do they plan on getting access to the kinds of facilities like the BSA has, like Philmont and Sea Base?
appalachian Trail, local outfitters, Christian camps, Private ranches, National Parks, National Forests etc. Lots of choices beyond the HA bases. Personally, the stuff I’ve read about The Summit HA base doesn’t really excite me. $450,000,000 for a camp tells me that it ain’t real rustic.
There are countless trek locations in national forests/parks equal to and exceeding what Philmont, etc. has to offer.
Takes more planning and logistics but I see it done every year in the mountains and coast of NC.
