💦🏕️ Whitewater Rapids and Camping to start the year off right for Scout Troop 200! 🏕️💦
Scouts set up camp along the Kennebec River this past weekend at the Northern Outdoors group campsite in The Forks, Maine. Nice to see the older scouts assisting the newer ones with things like tent setup. Hiked to the Moxie Falls and explored the shallow areas of the river on a beautiful crisp autumn Saturday. Enjoyed a scout-cooked dinner and toasty campfire, playing some cool games before calling it a night. Pretty chilly out! Next morning they were up early (temps mid-40s F!) to cook breakfast and head up the river in time for the dam release. Looks like they had some excellent rapids to navigate! 💦 The Guides made it extra fun 💦
From camping out to tackling class III and IV rapids like Magic Falls, it was a really good weekend!
Thank you to the Guides at Northern Outdoors for their expertise, keeping everyone safe and making the trip a blast. And thank you to our amazing adult volunteers who made this adventure possible, including the Troop 200 Committee Chair Amelia Grant, Assistant Scoutmaster Matt Tepelmann, adult trip volunteers Doug Woodbury, Janet Nash, and Dan Fokine.
