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.

The Trapper Trails Council held it Fourth Annual Family Camp Program this year at Camp Bartlett. This unique program is designed around the Advanced Leadership Programs of Wood Badge, and National Youth Leadership Traiing. While Mom or Dad attends Wood Badge and some Scout age boys attend NYLT (Summit) the rest of the family enjoys a fun filled program for their age group. Families eat meals together and attend a few selected campfire programs with each other but for the most part they have the opportunity to get trained, meet new friends and share new experiences. The entire family catches the Scouting spirit and reconnects with nature. It is very common to hear a youngster tell Mom or Dad "this is better than Disneyland"
