Riley to High Uintah Scout Camp

Riley left this morning at 4 a.m. with the scouts in our stake to Vernal, Utah to the High Uintah Scout Wilderness Camp at Windy Park. It is a 4 hour drive, so that is why they had to leave so early to get there to check in by 8 a.m. It is approximately 30 miles north from Vernal. Some of the highlights about this camp is Campfile programs, 4 major trails, Polar Bear Dip, Fishing, swimming, canoeing, archery and rifle shooting. He will have the opportunity to earn 25 merit badges while he is there. He will be there until Saturday, July 18th. Here is a link that has a little video about the camp. http://www.utahscouts.org/openrosters/ViewOrgPageLink.asp?LinkKey=21838&orgkey=290#prog

Bro. Brockbank and Bro. Fillmore are his leaders, so he will eat well and we hope he has a great time. Three other scouts went with him from our ward. Someone told us that the mosquitos were really bad and the mud, so we made sure to send him with rubber boots and tons and tons of mosquito repellant and anti-itch cream. We will add pictures later.
