Sep 2020 Intro to Backpacking

George Washington National Forest (Bucktail Parking)

Sep 26-27, 2020

The trip was fun and exiting given that this outing was the first troop-wide overnight event after the pandemic started. The older scouts taught younger scouts basic scouting skills while hiking and camping. The first day we hiked for 7 miles but, there was no water at the campsite so we walked another two miles and found campsites with running water. Then in the morning we only had to hike miles because of the amount of hiking we did on the first day. Overall it was a good camp out and I think the new scouts learned from it and so did the new patrol leaders.
