Kayaking

Scouts paddled along the Mullica River in tandem kayaks. The trip was a challenging 6 miles on day 1 and another 5 on day 2 as the river level was low due to the drought. Scouts had to navigate around fallen trees, logs, sandbars, and current to reach our camping spot and pullout spots.

October Backpacking Trip

Scout Webmaster — Sun, 20 Oct 2024 16:00:38 +0000

The group consisted of 5 scouts and 3 adults on our October backpacking trip at Harriman State Park. Scouts went on a 7.3 mile partial loop with lunch and a photo stop at the Lemon Squeezer. While there, they oriented their map using landmarks and checked their work with a compass for practice. The steady cook did a great job packing food that we had the smallest bear bag and least trash of any trip in recent memory. Although the fingerboard shelter there was occupied, scouts found a good camping spot complete with fire pit just down the hill. The hike back to the cars was 1.6 miles on a local road. The troop enjoyed breakfast at McDonald’s, and then headed back to Hoboken.

Venture Patrol Trip to Northern Tier

Scout Webmaster — Sun, 30 Jun 2024 16:00:54 +0000

From June 21st – June 30th the Venture Patrol traveled to the Atikokan Base at Northern Tier high adventure camp in Ontario, Canada (Atikokan is one of the three bases at Northern Tier). Scouts canoed across a section of wilderness called the Northern Crown Lands for a week. In addition scouts also had to plan the route that they would take to fulfill their 75 mile requirement. On trek they learned to properly unload and load the canoes with the special bags provided called ‘gray whales’ which were used to carry all of the food and equipment, learn to portage with the canoes across stretches of wilderness as well as what to do in situations where waves and white caps started to form. Each day the Venture Patrol was responsible for taking down or putting up bear bags, packing all of their equipment up every morning as well as setting it up in the evening and making sure to take care of their canoes so as to make sure nothing was damaged. In total the Venture Patrol exceeded the original 75 mile goal and ended up canoeing for 81.7 miles. This required them canoeing several hours a day.
