Canoe Trip to Kernville
The scouts of Troop 107 canoed and rafted on the Kern River
and Lake Isabella over the holiday weekend in May. Led by
our guides, Joe and Janet of Eagle Rafting, ten boys
mastered the required skills for their Canoeing Merit Badge.
The group also was able to take a raft ride down a stretch
of white water in the river. When not on the water, scouts
spent time fishing and earning their Tot’n Chips. Asst
SM Ed Roberts
led a Fishing Merit Badge clinic Saturday afternoon and
Andrew H. won the troop fishing derby later that day.
Overall, it was a very successful outing with no snow
reported. Because of the extremely high volume of water flow
in the river, the White Water Merit Badge portion of the
trip has been postponed to the weekend of August 5-7. Those
scouts affected must speak to SM Doug Hibbard for further
planning details.
