Dear Pedro, In June I went canoeing with the troop on the Jack’s Forks section of the Currant River in Missouri. We canoed in a large cave, swam in the river, camped on the banks at night and cooked on the beaches. Every Scout should get to go on at least one high-adventure trip. It teaches you to rely on yourself and your fellow Scouts.

Reading about your trip sounds like fun, Jason. The one time I tried to get into a canoe turned into a real aquatic experience. I didn’t think I’d ever get the algae out of my nose.
Pedro celebrates the 100th birthday of Boys’ Life magazine with this exclusive look behind the scenes of how the Boy Scouts’ monthly magazine is published. And don’t miss the last scene for a special bonus!
