A few of our Scouts enjoyed a five-mile hike today, where they practiced map and compass navigation and learned how to safely filter drinking water in the backcountry.

To top off the adventure, they were treated to a rare sight near the end of the hike—a porcupine climbing a tree.

We're having a great weekend up at Laurel Caverns. The scouts got to explore and crawl around in the cave, hike a bit and identify local wildlife, learn about different types of camping, and backpacking stoves and cooking. They topped tonight off making and consuming apple cobbler and watching the movie IF.

If you have youth 11-17 and want to explore what scouting has to offer, email us at [email protected] and come visit Mount Airy's only family based scouting troop that supports both boys and girls.
