CHALLENGING OUTDOOR PERSONAL EXPERIENCE (C.O.P.E.) is an exciting outdoor program that strives to develop teamwork, communication, trust, self-esteem, problem solving, decision making and fun in a group setting. This is the perfect opportunity to get troop Junior Leaders together and develop great troop teamwork.

 

Initiative games, low course challenges and high course experiences await all participants. Our course includes a climbing and rappelling tower as well as a zip line and 25 low course events.

 

Participants climb, swing, balance, jump, rappel and think of solutions to a variety of activities. Most participants do much more than they thought they were capable of doing. Unit leaders are encouraged to participate.

Project C.O.P.E. is an activity that attracts and holds the interest of older boys in Scouting. It is perfect for Venture Crews and Explorer Posts. It offers a set of stimulating activities designed to meet the needs of today's younger people seeking greater challenges to their physical and mental abilities.

 

The underlying goals of a Project C.O.P.E. course are consistent with the methods of Scouting. Group activities help promote personal growth. Other Scouting methods are inherent in the conducting of the program. C.O.P.E. provides an opportunity for every participant to achieve success as an individual member of the patrol or team.
