The troop had a great trip to the Pinhoti trail this weekend. We had 2 crews of 8-9 scouts, and 3 adults with each crew as we divided by rank and experience. Our younger guys had a six mile trek on Saturday, and our older scouts had a more strenuous 8 mile hike. Both crews met at McDill point before sunset, and woke up on Sunday and hiked out 2 miles as a troop. This was the first time for several scouts to go backpacking. Weather was almost perfect and dipped to lower 40”s at night. Scouts stayed warm by the campfire and played cards in their tents after enjoying the scenic overlooks. Everyone ate well and replenished calories with cheese, crackers and pepperoni at lunch. Dinner included yummy freeze-dried meals and breakfast included hot oatmeal, bacon and pop tarts. It was a beautiful weekend to be outside in the woods!
