Cycling Merit Badge 22 Mile Ride
www.Troop626.org
This summer a half-dozen scouts from the troop worked on completing the mountain bike portion of the cycling merit badge. In order to complete the requirements, scouts had to ride several different distances, the longest of which was 22 miles long. This ride was completed on 8/24 and was a grueling, 6-hour ride. They started by riding the entire Grand Ridge Trail system from the bottom up to Duthie Hill mountain bike park, where they took the Boot Camp trail, then they rode up to Cascade Ridge elementary school where they took a short pit stop. After that they continued to Soaring Eagle park, where they rode the Pipeline trail to its end. From there, they turned around and headed back to the bottom of the Grand Ridge Trail the way they came, stopping again at Cascade Ridge elementary school for a short rest. Thanks to Mr. Hanley for organizing this fun but tiring ride!

Camp Fife
www.Troop626.org
Every year Troop 626 goes to summer camp, and this year we went to Camp Fife. Summer camp offers a good chance to earn merit badges, and most people got 3 or 4. It was a fun experience and the best day was adventure day. Adventure day is on Wednesday, no one had merit badge classes and the entire day was troop time. So we all hiked around the lake, stopping to swim and canoe. The food was good and we all had fun, so I hope we can go back.
