Something a couple of our free-spirited, thrifty scouts are considering.

Sounds like fun, and it's a great opportunity to meet new friends!

Our council does contingents too. If interested contact your council or surrounding councils. Great way to meet kids near by.

I cant wait to go with my son, (hopefully) He has a couple more years.  I quit smoking 2 years ago for this very reason, now I need to lose about 25 lbs (225 currently)

@@JasonG172, move more, eat less. You definitely can shed those pounds over the next three years.

One scouter I know found a hike in the woods that he took at 5:30 every AM before going to work. An extra couple of miles (and a couple hundred feet elevation change) every day for a year in advance help him shed quite a few pounds and prepared him for the big hills.
