Graduations Today

Well, we're starting to lose Scouts to the MIA program.  It's a sad day to see these great young men move on.  We had cookies for a treat, played some games and had a little instruction by Kaleb as he and Jacob are moving on to bigger and better things.

Hike to Malen's Peak and Basin

We went to Malen's Peak this last Saturday.  We had 6 of the 8 Scouts attend and qualified for the 5-mile hike for their rank advancement.  Beautiful day looking at over the valley.
