We took the scouts whitewater rafting down the Kickinghorse River (near Golden, BC) last month, and we ended up with some sweet pics. It was the last day of the season on that river and it was little bit chilly, even with our neoprene outfits on. I was sitting up front in our raft and it seemed like I got more than my share of waves that splashed over my head, sending streams of icy water down the inside of my wetsuit. It was tons of fun and we're planning on going back again next year.
My Raft
The Other Raft
A week or two later, we did a video log segment of the trip, since the boys like to complain whenever we ask them to pick up a pen and write something. One of them says it's "too much like school". Clearly, he has not found the true joy in education that I have found these last year. In the video, look for Scouter Troy to dish out pushups to one of the boys for chatting with girls while he was talking. Some of the girls from church had wandered into our classroom by then, and one of them did the pushups just for fun. She also made up several details about the trip that were better than the info provided by the boys who actually went on the trip.

That was great! Explain three-and-a-half-and-a-half.
What a nice scout leader!
Your Uncle Dougie is very jealous.
three-and-a-half-and-a-half is our recently-adopted hand sign in our group. It grew from an inside joke around the scrapbooking table into something much greater.
A few of us were joking around while we were logging our summer rafting camp, and somebody tried to strike a cool pose and ended up with strangely contorted fingers, which someone said looked kind of like 3... and kind of a half... and another half.
It's been our sign ever since.
Very cool -- like you, the coolest scout leader ever!
Nice pictures... looks awesome!
Bet being scoutmaster is more fun than being in the Bishopric...well, maybe not as spiritual. Grandpa was an awesome scoutmaster. If you haven't so far, ask him about it and have him show the pictures to prove it, okay?? That's a question, respond...
Okay. I will try to remember to ask him. But you have to try to remember to remind me. Okay?
