9 Mile Island Canoe Trip

This weekend almost the entire troop went to 9 Mile Island by canoe. Putting in at West Canal County Park and moving five miles down the canal by canoe and kayak was a lot of work for most of the scouts. They carried with them all of their gear for the over night camping. 9 Mile was a nice camp  but a little on the buggy side. Scouts did everything from run around having fun to working on fire building skills. It was a very good learning experience for all involved. Sunday morning was a race against the weather to paddle the 5 miles home to avoid the rain.
