Thanks for a great 52nd season of scouting programs and events for scouts with our team here at Wilderness Voyageurs!

 

We are noticing more and more that your scout troops are carrying portable video devices to record and document your trips.  We’d love to see your stories! Send them in and get in on a raft trip for 10 that you could win!!!

 

How the Boy Scout Video Contest Works.

This is really simple.

 

  1. We need to see an edited video from you (individuals, groups or troops) anywhere from 1 minute to 10 minutes long documenting any experience with us here at Wilderness Voyageurs. Include anything you have on your trip here and anything you did here in Ohiopyle. Be creative and have fun with it.
  2. Please post the edited video on your channel of choice. YouTube and Vimeo are great!
  3. In addition to your video, please post a description of your trip and include the hashtag:  #WildernessVoyageurs
  4. Finally, come right back here to this post and fill out the form below with contact details and a link to your video.
