"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

Sendona Camp and Day Hike

We will be camping near Sedona, Cresent Moon Ranch camp site (if they are full we might end up somewhere else near there).  We will be getting up early the next morning and hitting the trailhead at Boynton Canyon.  For more information on this trail see the website here:

The leaders will be making dinner for the troop, but the boys should have a food assignment for their breakfast (check with your patrol leader).  They should also bring a trail lunch to each during the hike and 3 L of water.

We are going to be parking the cars near our camp site, so this will NOT be a backpacking trip.  We would still like to boy to put as much of their gear into their bag as possible.  The day hike on Saturday will be a 10 mile hike and they should bring a day pack to carry their water, lunch, and a trail first aid kit.  If we hit the trail early enough we will take them over to sliderock to play in the water, so they should bring a swimsuit and old shoes (or water socks etc).  We should be home by dinner time on Saturday.

We will be meeting at the church at 4:30 PM, please don't be late as this campsite is a little farther away.
