ILST
ILST
Starting off the year, scouts studiously grabbed their pens and notebooks to learn about one of the most important, core life skills that Scouting has to offer: leadership. Five senior scouts presented topics that would prepare these scouts to approach the troop in an educated manner, having and appreciating the qualities of leadership and teamwork within the troop. To earn the "Trained Patch," (definitely something that would be advantageous on a Scouting resume) younger scouts competed hard to gain the necessary score.

Finally, scouts grabbed their snowshoes and began to trudge in the snow, physically pushing the scouts to their limits.

After a quick workout in the morning with a simple hike, scouts took to fun events such as tug of war and a scouting skills competition. Then the preparation started, first chopping the firewood, then laying out the ingredients, lastly setting up the tripod.
