RememberSchiff Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 (edited) ...Our Troop had never done anything like this—at least not since 2017, when the oldest boy joined the Troop. I became Scoutmaster for the Troop in November 2021 and told the boys that we would begin preparing for a High Adventure backpacking trip, somewhere out west, for the summer of 2023. Over the next 18 months, Troop 422 elevated and refined its camping and backcountry skills in preparation for the adventure. With backpack space and weight at a premium, the Troop diligently learned to do more with less. It traded large four burner camp stoves and well-equipped camping kitchens for the simplicity of learning to cook over open fires and utilizing portable backpacking stoves with minimal utensils stowed in a hiking backpack. ... It will be interesting to see what these scouts plan for 2024. Scout Salute!
