The Yukon called, and we went! Scouts from Troop 137 and Troop 6 from Juneau Alaska spent nine days navigating the Yukon, once 200 miles of canoeing, completing service projects as we went, learning the history of the Klondike, and enjoying the poetry of Robert Service.
Have you seen God in His splendors,
heard the text that nature renders?
(You’ll never hear it in the family pew).
The simple things, the true things, the silent men who do things —
Then listen to the Wild — it’s calling you.
-Robert Service
(excerpt from the Call of the Wild)
