Meets 7:00 PM Thursdays
Shepherdsville Community Center

After breakfast, everyone was ready to go hiking and explore the camp.  A group of other scouts from the Dan Beard Council was conducting a conservation project and our group got some lessons on tree planting from an expert forester.  We climbed through "The Mine" before hiking up the back side of the dam to see Lake Schott and visit Fish Island, the Eagle's Nest, and other landmarks at Camp Friedlander.

We learned the proper way to plant trees from a professional forester.		Our morning hike included some "follow the leader" through the obstacle course.
We stopped to tour "The Castle" where we had camped the prior year.		And, naturally, everyone had to stop and explore "The Mine."
Hunter navigates his way through one of the tunnels.		Everyone tried to climb the ladder up to the "escape hatch" at the same time!
Henry stands at the end of one tunnel and ponders whether or not he's ready to exit.		The hike continued with a steep climb up the back side of the dam.
The hike continued through the woods.  Cubmaster Meek always seems to be able to find trails blocked by fallen trees that Cub Scouts get to climb over!  But a few fallen trees doesn't slow this group down.
