Troop 122 is planning a high adventure trip for our older scouts to one of the BSA's canoe bases in the Boundary Waters area of Minnesota and Canada. The fine print: In order to attend, scouts should be First Class Rank by January 1, 2006 and must be 13 years old by roughly July 15, 2006. Participants will need to attend a few mandatory crew meetings and on-the-water training activities prior to the trek. Adults meeting the health requirements (physical exertion in remote places) may also attend, within limits on adult/scout ratios in each crew. Crew sizes are typically eight scouts and two adults. We expect the trek to take 10-12 days in the second half of July in 2006. An estimated cost for planning purposes is $1000 per person. Some of this is subject to change as we get further into the planning process. End fine print To help us with planning and reserving the appropriate number of crews, I need a "virtual" show of hands of those interested in attending. I need to see roughly how many scouts may be interested, as well as how many adults we have to support these scouts. Please send an email here if you are interested and qualifyed.
