Powder Horn




Participants on the Dutchman

Sunrise at Camp Hunt Bear Lake



Preparing the bikes for a short mountain ride.

The second weekend of Powder Horn was held at Camp Hunt. Participants enjoyed sailing, canoeing, snorkeling, water skiing, mountain biking, climbing, rappelling, horseback riding, hiking, caving, camping, and backpacking.

Participants recieve instructions before they enter the cave.

Participants spent a day on Bear Lake practicing their water skills, and they spent an overnighter at the Paris Ice Caves learning all of the other High Adventure skills.


The resources used at Powder Horn gave participants a better understanding of how they can apply these skills with their home units.

Special thanks to Mike Perkins (Course Director) and his staff for the endless hours of preparation and hard work. We would also like to thank the many consultants throughout the community that help provide expertise to the training.

I was impressed with the 42 scouters who completed this years Powder Horn. I offer my best wishes to them as they have learned more about Venturing. The challenge now comes to use the knowledge in service to boys and other leaders. The memories of Powder Horn will last your life time, but using the skills will inspire and lift others long after the events.
