LAST EDITED ON Apr-03-12 AT 08:28AM (MST)[p]My boy (14) is headed up there this year with his Scout troop. He is just shy of getting his Eagle and we have great scout leaders who will be accompanying the boys.
Any of you have experience there? Sounds like a blast - we are making the final itinerary choices today, totally stoked for him and wish I could go with him.
I do have to say that I am pretty apprehensive about letting him go this long, this far away, and in some pretty rugged country, but he is prepared and I have great confidence in his leaders. That doesn't make feel that I shouldn't implant a GPS tracking micro-chip underneath his skin, however.
Any of you been there either as scouts or leaders or even staffers? Any tips or advice that maybe we haven't thought of yet?
HOOK 'EM!
