I learned a lot on this trip about the character of our scouts. Some of these guys spend a lot of their time in front of the TV or video games, but when we got them outdoors, they changed. They wanted to be challenged, and they wanted adventure.
We were rained on hard quite a few times, and when it wasn't raining it got pretty hot. But the boys didn't ask to go back to camp, they were excited to do the next thing. I heard very few complaints, and was impressed to see their energy levels.
Something that we determined about the scout carrier is that if the back handles were lengthened to allow someone walking behind to grab on and help get around obstacles or just to take the weight off for a few seconds would be nice.
We also learned that if you have a base camp, try to bring up an awning of some type to give you somewhere to go to cook and eat during the monsoonal rains.
We also learned that we can have fun, and learn something no matter what we're doing.
