The boys left for their camping trip last Saturday morning for a real Boy Scout adventure.
The goal was to camp and do a five mile hike.
However, they also got to camp in 29 degree weather.
They decided to let the boys do an experiment and left water in containers outside of tents to see it freeze. I guess it made for slow coffee making as I see two coffee presses on the table amid the frost.
Once everyone was up, fed and packed, they began their hike.
Notice how bundled up the two are.
With all that hiking, and the sun beating down,
it must have gotten warmer on the high rock ledge they stopped on for lunch and pictures.
The brave crew from their troop.
The views from atop the cliff.
I guess it never changes, a boy must climb a rock, for no other purpose than to do it.
Actually, according to Meg Meeker's book Boys Should Be Boys,
they have a need to challenge their bodies and minds at this stage of development.
Scouts is a safe and fun way for them to do just that.
Please support your local Boy Scout!
