Ironwoods Challenge Course

We will also get to climb a 50-foot rock wall. 

 

We will leave from the campsite at approximately 9:30 and return by 3:30.  Bring your sack lunch!  This experience will allow many of the Climbing and Repelling merit badge requirements to be checked off.

 

Contact Rick Isham with questions.  (campmaster@bsatroop10.org).

 

Note:  Those participating will miss our yearly conservation project needed for the camping merit badge (requirement #9C), and will need to make that up at a future campout.
