Bear Lake Campout September 27-29

Picture-perfect early fall weather greeted the scouts at our campout at Bear Lake, just northeast of Wabeno.

The patrols made good use of the empty hike-in sites on the peninsula, setting up camp and securing ample room for games of capture the flag as well. The weekend featured fishing, food, and fun. Despite some windy weather, canoes were on the water, including for the epic Great Canoe Relay. In the Scout competition, it was the Falcons besting the Rangers/Scorpions/Cobras. In the Scout-Adult rubber match, the Scorpions/Cobras edged out the team of SPL+ASM. Although fishing was slow with the wind, the Moonlight Crawfish Hunt yielded a steady supply.

See you at the next campout!

Back from the Porkies

The backpacking crew has returned safe and sound from the Porcupine Mountains. We spent several great days exploring this wild and untamed place, trekking on challenging and hilly terrain and setting up camp in some of the remote and scenic campsites throughout the wilderness.
