Return from Table Rock and Fort Aiken


Congrats to all our wilderness survival scouts who had a great weekend learning about outdoor shelters, how to make a fire, food on the trail, hiking skills and how to read a compass and chart. On Sunday the scouts and leaders took a challenging hike up to the top of Table Rock mountain at 3124, above you can see the route and below the effects of the long climb. Austin Ando gets a special qualification for mountain climbing as he climbed up the steps cut for longer legs on the trail!


The older/Venture scouts adventure can be seen at the new Venture blog site...

Special thanks to Dr. Al Aiken, who welcomed the wilderness survival scouts at his mountain home and below are all our scouts and leaders in front of his house as they prepared to return to the Lowcountry on Monday afternoon.
