Smith Rock State Park (Sept. 2024)

​On this outing, the troop camped in an almost empty campground called Haystack Reservoir with a beautiful view of rolling hills and the lake. This camp out was especially fun and different because the troop got to have the experience of rock climbing in a beautiful landscape, which was Smith Rock State Park. On the climbing portion of the outing, we had some amazing guides who brought us to a great climbing spot. During the climb, every scout got to do many climbs up and down the face of the rocks. There was also free time in between when many explored the rocky landscape and played games. The next day, we went on a short but fulfilling hike through the Smith Rock State Park. On the way home, we stopped at Subway and everyone enjoyed a group lunch to conclude the outing.
