Snow Bowl Hut Overnight
For several years, our troop has been hiking to either Snow Bowl Hut or High Hut. After a 4.3 hike and 1200 foot elevation gain, scouts enjoy the comforts of the Snow Bowl Hut at the end of the road.

Camp Fire Mountain
www.Troop626.org
Every year the troop goes to one of the Boy Scout summer
camps in the area. This year, we returned to Camp Fire Mountain from August 2nd
to the 8th. Scouts got to attend merit badge classes, go swimming or
boating in the lake, shoot rifles, and go on the ropes course. At the end of
the week, there was a big relay race that our troop had a team in, and
camp-wide games. Summer camp is probably the best part of scouting.

Ape Caves

On the 18th of July, 7
scouts and 5 adults went on an outing to Mount Saint Helens National Volcanic
Monument. First, they went to the Johnston Ridge Observatory, then camped
overnight. In the morning, they met with the survivors J of the Mount Saint Helens 50 miler to go hike
through Ape Caves, a 2.47 mile long lava tube. This was a very fun outing, and
it was very cool to hike in the caves.

Mt. St. Helens 50 Mile Hike
www.Troop626.org
From the 13th to thru the 19th of July, 11 scouts and 3 adults climbed and circumnavigated Mt. St. Helens. On the first day, the group summited and came back to their campsite at Climber's Bivouac. On day two, they broke camp and started the circumnavigation, and they returned to Climber's Bivouac on the 18th, one day early, in order to go into Cougar and have celebratory cheeseburgers. There they camped one more night to wait for the Ape Caves outing. It was tough, but a lot of fun and those cheeseburgers tasted so good.

Aviation Day
www.Troop626.org
On the 16th of May, scouts had an opportunity to go to Alaska Airlines Aviation Day, where they could learn about careers in the aviation industry and earn the aviation merit badge. They attended presentations about careers like air traffic controllers and flight attendants, saw the insides and cockpits of different planes, learned about the physics that make a plane work, and flew in flight simulators. All in all it was a fun trip and a good learning experience.
