Open COPE Weekend

Unit COPE Events

Project COPE, a national program of the Boy Scouts of America is composed of group initiative games, trust events, low course events, and high course events to develop teamwork, agility, and individual development of youth and adults. Participants climb, swing, jump, and balance to devise solutions to a variety of problems that they may face. Some activities involve group challenges, some may be individual challenges to build confidence or leadership skills. COPE is a great event for employers to get involvement of coworkers and teams allowing them to think out of the box and build creativity. COPE is available during our summer camp programs as well as special weekend events that can be tailored to your group’s needs be it adults or youth. The COPE challenge is good for troops and crews going to high adventure bases such as Philmont or Northern Tier.
