Adirondack and Polar Bear Outing




Seventeen scouts and five adult leaders took part in the winter over night at Camp Greilick this weekend. The low temperature recorded at camp was 0 degrees.



Trevor A., Doug T., and Kevin N. completed a Polar Bear outing and will receive Scenic Trails Polar Bear Patches at an upcoming meeting. Mr. Adams and Mr. Coale also completed Polar Bear camping requirements.



Fourteen scouts and three adults spent the night in three Adirondack shelters.



A few of the activities for the outing were a 1.25 mile hike with gear to the Adirondack camp site, sledding, shelter building practice, winter fire starting pratice and cooking over several different heat sources.



Thanks to Mr. Adams for the pictures from the outing.
