🥶🔥 Troop 1717 Takes on the Deep Freeze! 🔥🥶
Our Troop 1717 scouts just wrapped up an unforgettable high-adventure cold weather camping trip to Ely, MN—and wow, did they earn their bragging rights!
Temperatures dropped to a bone-chilling -15°F, but spirits stayed high as the scouts learned serious cold-weather survival skills, teamwork, and resilience.
Highlights?
❄️ Thriving in sub-zero temps
🧀 Eating legendary “boot cheese” (don’t ask… just respect the bravery 😄)
💪 Proving that Scouts can handle anything Mother Nature throws their way
So proud of these kids for stepping outside their comfort zones and into the cold! This is adventure, leadership, and memories that will last a lifetime. 🏕️🧤
