This Freezoree was a great experience for the scouts in terms of winter survival skills and emergency shelter preparation. The first night out dipped to -7 F so it reinforced a lot of the skills the scouts already knew; keep clothes dry, fire building, the importance of proper gear and keeping hydrated. The next day gradually warmed to +20 accompanied by a stiff breeze and snow.
Best Part of the Event:
the abundance of snow
Worst Part of the Event: It was
cold outside.
Scoutmaster/Asst Scoutmaster Comments:
