Adventures in Scouting: Episode 1. The Rock Gym

"That was fun last night. Can we go again today? That's my new exercise." Scotty's first words when he awoke this morning.

Having crossed over from his Cub Scout pack last month, Scotty is now a Boy Scout with Troop 1 Conimicut. Not feeling well and being a bit nervous about his first outing with the Boy Scouts, it took some "strong" encouragement to get him motivated to attend his first outing Saturday night.

The event was scheduled to be an overnight campout at Rock Spot Climbing in Lincoln, RI. But with a winter storm warning for our area, the overnight portion was cancelled, but the climbing was still ON! Scotty and his fellow Scouts did a great job navigating the routes up the walls; Cristy also found her way to the top. As for me? I was comfortable just wearing my North Face sweatshirt in the lounge!

  1. We (Troop 76 Mystic) went to Rock Spot in Peacedale this winter as part of a campout at Aquapog. They run a climbing merit badge class for scouts who will be 13 by the end of the year. Reasonably priced, great class, and plenty of climbing for the scouts too young to do the merit badge.
