As noted in a message sent a few weeks ago, we are planning several exciting trips for the Troop in 2008. One of them is the Troop's first trip to the BSA Northern Tier National High Adventure Base in Ely, MN. This is a canoeing trip that will criss-cross the US/Canadian border through some of the most pristine and untouched areas of the country.

We have reserved two crews for 8 people each, but so far we only have enough people interested to fill one crew. By the end of September we have to pay a significant deposit and unless anyone else signs up we will cancel the second reservation and only have one crew. THE DEADLINE FOR SIGNING UP IS FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 21ST. Please contact Jorn Petersen at 214 956 0746 or mjp5@sbcglobal.net. Scouts must be at least 13 years old on July 17, 2008. For additional information and pictures from this outstanding opportunity, please visit the Northern Tier Website.
