What a weekend! Despite having tons of work left to do on our boat, we left thoughts of the water behind this weekend and took to the rocks of the Niagara Escarpment. (I'm sure Mr Alp missed us terribly) We travelled to Camp Nemo, a Scout Camp just outside of Hamilton where Scouter Steve went to Scout Camp some 35 years ago (it hasn't changed a bit) and bunked down in our Adirondack Shelters. On Saturday we headed out to Rattlesnake Point where we met up with Frederick, Ray and Steven from One Axe Pursuits and enjoyed a full day of rock climbing. Check out the One Axe link on our home page. The guys from One Axe were outstanding instructors. We learned a lot but most importantly we had tons of fun and enjoyed an experience we will not forget for a long time.

“There are hundreds of paths up the mountain,
all leading in the same direction,
so it doesn’t matter which path you take.
The only one wasting time is the one
who runs around and around the mountain,
telling everyone else that their path is wrong.”

Along with an amazing rock climbing experience, this weekend was also Jamboree of the trail (JOTT). Jamboree On The Trail is an annual day for the World Scout Movement to hike together. All Scouts, whatever their age and wherever they may be in the world, are invited to participate in whatever way they can. Here is a link to check out JOTT.

    I am Scouter Steve, one of the leaders with the 63rd Windsor. Ontario Scouts. With the help of a VERY generous donation of a Mirror dinghy kit from Mirror Sailing Development, we have started building the boat with the assistance of Mr Don Alp. The plan is to launch the boat on June 7th in Woodstock, Ontario. Follow along with our progress and feel free to comment.
