Older scouts from our troop had a fantastic summer experience on the High Knoll Backpacking Trek in Hiwassee, VA. We joined BSA Troop 390 Fairlawn for the high adventure experience from June 26-July 2. Scouts and leaders backpacked through the Blue Ridge Mountains for five days and participated in horseback riding, mountainboarding, rock climbing, a paintball course, black powder shooting and other high adventure activities.
