| Thunderhawk The Troop discovered this spot almost a decade ago and has been enjoying it ever since. A challenge for anyone who has never climbed outdoors before. |
| As always,the rappelling session starts with more training and demonstrations from the experienced scouts supervised by the adult staff members. More swiss seat training as well as intense safety issues are reviewed. Then its time to climb to the rappelling station. The excitement grows as you wait your turn and follow the old timers lead for an exhilarating rappel. Sometimes its so good you pause and smile for the camera. |

| Rafting the Delaware Rappelling in the hot sun makes the Delaware river very desirable. The Troop's rafts are used to skoot down Skinners Falls. The non swimmers get to spend their time splashing and dipping near shore under the supervision of an adult staff member. If enough adult supervision is available and the scouts are qualified, inner tubes, kayaks or canoes are also available. This year some of the boys also enjoyed a serious frog hunt, made easier due to the mating season.The river was never more enjoyable than this year. We had perfect weather and the river was flowing at average levels despite the minimal rainfall. |
