24th Parkallen Scout Winter Survival Camp

This camp was for experienced scouts to practice their winter survival skills. Our scouts had to plan and organize this camp with help from their leaders. Due to the heavy snow our adventurers had to trek over one kilometer on cross country skis with all their gear on sleds and dig out about one metre of snow to make their shelter.

No Meeting this week

Scouts are not meeting this week as they are recovering from their Winter Survival Camping trip from last weekend. Our regular meetings will start on April 6th. Have a great spring break.
