hops_scout 9 Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 So share with all of us your plans for high adventure in the 2005 season. My troop is going whitewater rafting at Blue Ridge Mountains on the New River I believe. I'm not going. Instead, I'll be attending the 2005 National Jamboree at Fort AP Hill. Rappelling tower;) Link to post Share on other sites
eagle90 125 Posted February 6, 2005 Share Posted February 6, 2005 Our troop will be doing the Chisholm Trail Adventure thru the Lonestar Council in Fort Worth. Sounds like a good combination of water and land based activities! Link to post Share on other sites

Trevorum 24 Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 We're canoeing down the Buffalo River as soon as school's out and then later doing SCUBA diving, deep sea fishing, surfing, etc. on South Padre Island. Gonna be a great summer! Link to post Share on other sites
Cutter 10 Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Our troop is going to the Boundary Waters for 6 days in July. I'm down as a backup but since I'm still recovering from the shattered knee obtained while crossing a stream during last years HA trip in the Black Hills, I'd rather not go this time. By next year maybe the pain will be gone and it will be more stable. I've canoed in the Boundary Waters a few times so missing it is not a big loss. Since I'm scheduled for scout camp and on staff at NYLT I should get my fill of long term camping. I also will try to get a week of flyfishing/bacpacking in WY and a trip to the Porcupines Mtn biking in before the end of summer. Link to post Share on other sites
