Some First Year and Veteran Scouts Take on 5 Mile Hike!

Some hearty Scouts and Dads participated in a 5 Mile Hike this morning on a portion of the North Country Trail! With snow on the ground and drizzle in the air, it was a great morning to walk in the woods. A good time was had by all. Some beautiful vistas of Lake Arthur were one of the rewards. Thanks to all who participated!

Some of our youngest boys enjoyed an overnighter that began with GREAT FOOD and a beautiful harvest moon overhead! The temps dropped into the high 30's overnight, but all were PREPARED and comfortable.

Boy Scout Troop 482 Completes 2012 Week of Resident Camp!

Another successful week of Resident Camp is behind us, although most of us wish it could go on!

 

Our troop spent the week of July 15-21 at Beautiful Camp Bucoco!

I spoke with each of the boys while I was in camp each day, and they all told me they were having a great time, from the youngest new Scouts to the oldest Life Scouts. Having a great time enjoying the freedom and independence of camp while working their way toward their own chosen goals. That's what a great week at camp is all about!

Three of our Life Scouts also participated in the High Adventure Program and enjoyed that experience immensely!

Here are few select photos with a link to many more below.
