A buildOn Trek is the ultimate Scouting adventure where service, leadership, and global citizenship come to life. Your troop will fundraise to build a school in one of our partner countries, then travel overseas to live with host families and work side-by-side with the community to construct it. Trek brings the Scout values of teamwork, resilience, and service above self into focus, proving that adventure means more when it builds opportunity for others.
