March Campout to Bonnie Lake









Troop 323 hiked to and camped at a remote yet close in lake south of Cheney. The theme was "No Trace Camping" That means minimal impact to the environment, which meant no campfire which is traditional in scouting overnighters, but if you ask the boys I think we did very well without one, we still had a fireside complete with Scout Master's minutes from Howard Ashby and Chris Howell-ask your scout about jaw bones and Marsh Lakes. Thanks to James Clark no one will ever hike again without a very complete First Aid Kit so that we can get him home to his family. Can't wait til next month when we return to the Mountains-Kamiak Butte.

Camping without a fire..hmmm, how do you roast the marshmellows??? Beautiful scenery btw!

Yeah, no sharp burn sticks in the eyes, no hot burning marshmellows stuck on someone's nose, no burnt gloves, boots or smoke smell on the clothes either...
I think this Leave No Trace Camping was invented to reduce the insurance claims for the scouts and the church.
