Asher's scouting summer

Asher has had a fun scouting summer. I went along for the bike-camp in June, and loved it. We road 50 miles on a rails-to-trails track. The trail went through some amazing old train tunnels, cut into dripping cold limestone rock. It was a really tough, but fun ride.
Asher also went to a week long summer camp in July and completed several merit badges. This month he went with his troop on a 3 day kayaking trip, where he had more adventure than he bargained for. - This is why mothers say lots of prayers. We are glad he came back safely.




Earlier this month, Asher and Noel both helped out with a friend's Eagle project. An old building is being turned into a Youth Center. The scouts helped build benches, flower boxes, and landscaped the front of the building.



It turned out beautifully. The old building is located on Main Street, and every time we drive by, I think what a great job those kids did.
