Yes. My goal was to complete 50 miles and learn more about self- reliance
and leadership. How is the troop planning to use the experiences gained
in future plans and outings? By teaching others about self - reliance and
the beauty of the wilderness.
Highlights:
Cross country/off trial hike - we applies skills we learned about navigation
and map reading. The beautiful sights from the top of the mountains - we
learned to appreciate nature and know how important it is to preserve it.
Learning the different constellations - it was amazing how clear the night
sky was in the Sierras.
Major tasks carried out by the adults.
They supervised but let the girls complete the needed tasks on their own.
During the day they supervised and did the same chores as the girls. They
also supplied us with fresh fish to eat - yum!
Changes to improve the trip
I would have liked more girls to participate, otherwise it was outstanding.
Words of wisdom
Take mosquito netting and try all the food you are taking on the trip before
you go. Also a good way to end the trip is to have someone waiting at the
end with fresh food and cold drinks!
