The scout spent the night 500 feet underground. Some scouts also when on the wild tour. This was a true spelunking route that began at the Devil's Quarry and encounters such infamous places as the Lemon Squeezer and Bubble Gum Alley.

Troop 95 Camporee
May 2008 Map this location
Our new Scorpion and Roadrunner patrols first campout. The patrols learn many of the basics for scout camping.
The older scouts helped with instructing our new patrols. They really demonstrated the true meaning of brotherhood in scouting.
This year some scouts traveled to the Camporee by canoe down the Broad River. Nicknamed the "River Rats", this group joined the Camporee later helping with the evening campfire events and the wrap up on Sunday.

Backpacking
March 2008 Map this location
In true Troop 95 tradition the scouts braved high winds and rain. The weather added a challenge for the scouts. The scouts hiked to Pinnacle Mountain and on to the Foothills trail. In a driving rain they maneuvered grades up to 30% and changes in elevation of over 2000ft. This trip truly showed the capabilities of our high adventuring backpacking scouts. The following day began with a beautiful sunrise and the crew enjoyed a great hike down.
