I need a name for an outdoor program/cl I am starting...?

I work at a home for at risk teens and I am trying to start a new outdoor education style program. Wyndham is the name of the place and our school mascot is the Wildcats. The ideas I have had so far are "The Wildcat Explorers", "Wyndham Scouts", and "Wyndham Adventure Club". I think they are ok, but not great. A lot can be take from a name and I want it to pop and excite when people hear it. The following topics will be covered. Map making, map reading, familiarizing yourself with the trail, Knot tying + applications, what to pack when camping, water purification, wilderness tools, plant identification and uses, emergency shelter building, choosing a campsite, fire building(what type of fire for different situations), cooking in the wild, safety planning, basic first aid, and last but not least "Leave No Trace"/Trail etiquette. Any answers would be helpful I may use yours or it could be the spark that helps me figure one out. Thank you!!!
