We explored canyons, discovered view petroglyphs and arches, and climbed nearby slick rock to overlook the Squeeze or Black Dragon Canyon. Others rode their bikes on dirt roads. A highlight of the trip was the Capture the Flag game and Halloween Party with flashing pumpkins and lots of Halloween season blood, guts and gore!

February

Writing from the Wasatch Mountain Club lodge, now with Internet access! Many very intense games of Chess, Risk, 31 and other video-game free, deep thinking activities. But most of the past day, as well as much of last night was spent skiing, snowboarding and snowshoeing around the Brighton Ski Resort. Scouts worked to complete Merit Badge requirements for Snow Sports, Wilderness Survival and others.

January

Winter Klondike at Methodist Church Camp near Coalville. Scouts spent Friday night in cabins, and Saturday night in snowcaves they had built the day before. Saturday saw several intense sled races and other competitions.

Last month, our troop stayed in the Wasatch Mountain Club lodge at Brighton and skied for three days. During the Monday night meetings, the older scouts worked on the Citizenship in the World merit badge, while the younger scouts visited the Holliday courthouse or learned about knots and lashings.
