Mormon Mountain

This month's campout found us in the absolutely beautiful area between Munds Park and Mormon Lake. Cool temperatures were a pleasure to hike in as we ascended Mormon Mountain to camp in the open meadows and the aspen groves. It was a relatively short hike compared to what we are used to doing, but it was a very steep elevation climb.

The moonless sky was perfect for star gazing, and before bed the boys learned how to safely fell a tree. The next morning they learned how to make an improvised stretcher and reviewed the principles of stopping serious bleeding and transporting a patient (that was not related to the tree felling!)

Climbing and Rappelling at Watson Lake

The amazing Scouts of Troop 95 headed out to do some climbing and rappelling yesterday. We played on a few of the various routes located by Watson Lake, and the boys had a blast! Congratulations to the Scouts who had some "apprehension" about heights and pushed through that to complete the routes - awesome!
