Not only is Polaris a leading manufacturer of off-road vehicles, they make some pretty good backpacks, too. You can win a free OGIO Explorer pack by simply sharing a comment during today’s #TrekOnTuesday Facebook Live event at 3 p.m. Central.
In 2014, Polaris and the BSA entered what has become a very productive partnership, providing top-of-the-line ATVs and safety equipment to high-adventure bases and select local camps.
Since then, thousands of Scouts have participated in the Polaris ATV safety program, taught by ASI (ATV Safety Institute) trained instructors, and learned about the Tread Lightly trail conservation movement.
In today’s show, our hosts will visit with the Wheels Director at the Summit Bechtel Reserve. The Wheels program at the Summit includes mountain biking, skateboarding, BMX and, of course, ATV riding.
We’ll also discuss the role Polaris, the Summit and all Scouts can play in recognizing National Forest Week.
How to ride ATVs at the Summit
The Polaris ATV Experience gives participants the chance to travel more than 60 miles on ATVs over a span of four days. The trails range from easy to intermediate, and the ride includes stops along the way for some STEM education and to observe some of the epic scenery available at the Summit.
ATV programs are also offered at authorized BSA properties.
How to win the backpack
The OGIO Explorer backpack is a good one.
Not only is it durable and comfortable, it’s got a spot for laptops and tablets and features a reactive suspension system designed to keep your electronic devices safe.
All you have to do to enter for a chance to win is comment during today’s show at 3 p.m. Central.
What is #TrekOnTuesday?

We talk about gear, health and safety, the outdoors and also share inspiring Scouting stories from across the country.
