First, we got in the cars and drove down to the approximate entrance to the trail. The newer scouts were driven to base camp; the rest of us started hiking. We were making a good pace for the first two thirds of the trail, but then the first group took a wrong turn then doubled back. We then got confused as to where precisely we where, but we managed to get to base camp in time for lunch. After lunch, everyone was shown their sites, and most people started making their shelter. Some people also made their camp gadget. A group of boys also played football. It came around to dinnertime, and the older scouts made their dinner, and then ate it. After dinner, people went to the campfire at base camp, and watched and performed the skits. A cracker barrel was hosted. Then the scouts played several rounds of manhunt and hide-and-seek before going to sleep. In the morning, people woke up and briskly made and ate their breakfast. Everyone made sure to leave no trace, and brought their stuff down to base camp. We took turns bringing troop and personal gear down, and then everyone got in the cars and drove home. That was the scout trip.
