"Scouting brings out the best in each of us. Live what you've learned and will continue to learn. Help others to hike the trails, to keep steadfast in the paths of truth, of honor, of duty, that all of you can soar together on eagles' wings. You are part of a mighty army of youth, even a royal army, and every organization, to be successful, has an honored tradition to uphold. May you uphold Scouting's tradition, for it can be as a lighthouse beacon in the world of stormy seas, it can be a motivation to prepare for your role in life, it can be a yardstick against which you measure your accomplishments." ~President Thomas S. Monson--2010

West Webber Creek Camp and Hike

This weekend we will be camping right next to Camp Geronimo just north of Payson (same spot as the previous Father's and Son's camp out) . The following morning we will be hiking up the Mogollon Rim along the West Webber Creek Trail  The hike is about 10 miles.  They should wear broken in shoes/boots and be wearing sunscreen and hats.

The boys will only be hiking with day packs, and can leave their gear in the cars.  They should come prepared with 3 liters of water and a trail lunch.  They should bring their own dinner and breakfast which will be at camp.

We are meeting at the church at 4:00 PM on Friday, and we expect to be back before dinner time on Saturday.

We always love it when fathers can come and camp with us.  If the 4:00 departure time is too early, and you can otherwise come we are more than willing to push back our departure time to accommodate your schedule.

Here is a link to a website about the trail we will be hiking:
