Camping at Via Ferrata

By -

On the weekend the Scouts went on a camping trip to Via Ferrata in Kentucky. When they got there, they were greeted by a nice rain storm, but that didn’t stop them from setting up their tents. Luckily, the rain stopped before the actual climbing on Saturday. Via Ferrata is a large curved rock face with six actual climbing courses. The climbing courses vary in difficulty from beginner to advanced. It also includes two swinging bridges, a tight ropewalk and a log ladder. The scouts then returned to the church on Sunday at around one o’clock.

So because of this we had to stand with our signs up for six minutes in total. After we were able to relieve our arms, there were some announcements and rank advancement. Then we put all of our personal gear for Peterloon in the trailer. And once the trailer doors were shut, everyone left.
