| Backpacking 101 Participants |
On March 26, 2010 Troop 448 conducted the brand new "Backpacking 101" program for the boys in the troop at Camp El Rancho Cima in Wimberly, Texas. This program was part of Mr. McDonald's Wood Badge ticket. During the program, the boys learned the basics of backpacking. The boys learned about water filtration, backpack stove cooking and map/compass use.
The backpack trek began at the Camping 101 campsite and ended at a campsite on the banks of the "Boy Scout Lake". During the outing, the group was surprised with an unexpected horseback riding program provided by the camp staff. The weekend ended with a trek of nearly 5 miles and a three-hour horseback riding program.
Here are the photos from Mr. Reyes and Mr. McDonald.
