42
boys and 14 adults traveled to the western part of North Carolina,
near Mount Mitchell for a weeklong summer camp in the mountains.
Scouts walked from the Blue Ridge Parkway the last 3 or 4 miles
into camp to set up on a Sunday. On Monday we stayed in camp to
do projects and get oriented. Tuesday and Wedsnesday were devoted
to patrol outings: rafting and climbing, canoeing, visiting an Indian
Reservation and the Great Smokey Mountains, as well as Tubing and
sightseeting on Roan Mountain. Thursday was spent in camp providing
service to our hosts, the Arthur Morgan School, a raft competition,
and the 3rd annual Iron Chef competition. On Friday Scouts were
given choices for field trips; Tubing, Sliding Rock and Looking
Glass Falls, and hikes on Mount Mitchell. On Saturday we started
for home.
