Getting Ready for High Adventure

For High Adventure this year we are going down near Moab and Blanding, Utah to explore some canyons, check out some indian cliff dwellings, play in a waterfall, and learn to serve others.
We have a boy that walks with a cane in our troop, and we wanted to include him, even in our high adventure (which are typically strenuous for anyone, let alone one with a cane).  So one of our scouts decided to design and build a carrier - kind of like a stretcher with a seat (see below)
So, now our scouts can learn more about service as they carry their brother on our hikes.  Our theme this year is "I can be my brother's keeper", and we're focusing on not only having fun, but also watching out for each other and serving each other.  We're getting packed up to leave in a few days so I'll let you know how it goes.
