Purgatory Chasm

Purgatory Chasm We camped at Purgatory Chasm and did a lot of hiking in and around the chasm. During our second hike through the chasm we completed a service project by cleaning out debris. We had several of our new scouts on this outing and spirits were high. The older scouts found a small cavern and set up lighted checkpoints to allow all of the scouts in the troop to explore it. For having 100% participation in the Popcorn Sale last fall, each patrol got Dunkin’ Donuts on Sunday Morning.

Indoor Rock Climbing

Indoor Rock Climbing 34 of our Scouts went indoor rock climbing and 7 of the Scouts earned the Climbing Merit Badge. We spent the night climbing the rock walls and playing various games until 2am. All of the adults received Top Rope training so they could belay the scouts. This has become an annual trip and all of the scouts really enjoy it.
