A few weeks ago, our troop ventured to Needles, Arizona to go canoeing on the Colorado River. Spread out across six canoes, the scouts went 12 total miles and saw several trains along the way. But, according to one scout, the best part of the trip wasn’t just canoeing, scouts also hiked in Joshua Tree National Park, and even saw the bridge of Nursery Rhyme fame itself, London Bridge. “The best part was when we took a break from canoeing and went swimming,” the scout recalled. “I can’t wait to go again.”
