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.
