Grand Canyon Trip a Success!

Warning: This Tuesday night’s meeting might be contagious with Grand Canyon Fever.  Troop 19 has returned from a fantastic week at the Grand Canyon.  Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the trip.  Many have remarked how the Canyon was even better than they had imagined.  All four hike crews accomplished their goal in hiking their planned route and everyone hiked from the rim to the river on a variety of challenging trails.  We will publish a specific Canyon update to this newsletter and will have pictures and journals on our website soon. We will also have a special presentation of the trip at a future meeting. 

Reminder: Parent Committee Meeting this Tuesday Night
