This day trip was the first in a series to prepare a group of scouts for their upcoming trip to Philmont Scout Ranch in June 2009. It prepared us both physically and helped us learn how to pack better.
We began by dividing various troop gear into our packs.This made our packs heavier and gave us a better understanding of the troop gear.
After looking at the map and planning our route, we were off.
The leaders enjoyed the day us much as the scouts.
Next, we made a very cool stop. Here we are pictured at the site of the world's first nuclear reactor.
Being Boy Scouts, we had to go off the trail at least once.
After a nice hike, we stopped for some lunch. We enjoyed some food after a long morning. We then sent off again.
We took a couple of breaks, because we were cold and tired.
But then it was back on the trail. After exploring a little bit, we went along the I&M canal. The scouts had a lot of fun throwing rocks in the frozen water.
We were all happy once we got back to the parking lot. The scouts got some good practice in a had a good time as well.
