You have probably heard of the S.E.A. But do you know the League of Adventurers? It’s a group of explorers and adventurers created as part of the backstory for Shanghai Disneyland's Adventure Isle area. Thread ⤵️ (pictures are mine or from rollercoasterphilosophy.com)

The main feature of Adventure Isle is Roaring Mountain (Apu Taku). Expeditions into the mountain can be taken through Roaring Rapids by raft or the rope courses at Camp Discovery (which include a walk around the mountain, Challenge Trails, Vista Trail, and Excavation Site).

The land is focused around the base camp of a group known as the League of Adventurers located near the village of natives known as the Arbori. Established in the 1920s, it is a globe-trotting organization dedicated to scientific and archeological studies and expeditions.

In 1935, their airship "New Horizons'' was driven off course and ended up landing on Adventure Isle, where they would end up establishing friendly relations with the local Arbori tribe.

In the time since then, they have established a base at Camp Discovery to explore the caverns and cliffs of the mountains and work on excavating ancient Arbori ruins and have established a rafting expedition course on Roaring Rapids.

At Camp Discovery, you can choose from a variety of expeditions to help unravel the island’s mysteries. You can climb on elevated rope courses to survey the terrain of Roaring Mountain, hike through the breathtaking scenery or work inside a dig zone to unearth ancient artifacts.

One of the most interesting parts is this: Bulletin boards in the League office at Camp Discovery show connections to attractions from other parks around the world and build out their story in general.

In 1931, an archeological team from the League and Indiana Jones discovered the Temple of the Crystal Skull in the Lost River Delta. However, they ran into trouble with the temple's booby traps and had to be bailed out by Doctor Jones.

In 1932, shortly after establishing a submersible program with the submarine "Odyssey", they would embark on an expedition to Atlantis for Whitmore Industries, the first time Preston B. Whitmore would go public with what the 1914 expedition really found down there.

A story detailing the League's efforts to build a climbing trail through the Himalayas to Everest tie into Expedition Everest, with photos revealing the team ran afoul of the attraction's version of the Yeti.
