On Friday, April 23, 2010, members of Troop 797 met at the Grandview chapel to leave for a camp out to the Little Sahara Sand Dunes. Those participating are shown in the above photo: Tyler Rife, Gunnar Legas, Sam Jensen, Max Hoopes, and Scoutmasters Greg Jones and Spencer Fowers.
At the sand dunes the scouts pitched their tents, prepared their meals using backpacking stoves, played in the sand dunes, and at the end of the day read and discussed 1 Nephi 2.
On Saturday the scouts played cooked breakfast, played in the dunes, took down the camp, did geocaching, and went on a hike of over 2 miles wearing their backpacks.
The scouts who went on this trip completed the following rank advancement requirements: prepared 2 meals using backpacking stove (the backpacking merit badge requires 3 total), one overnight scout camp out (the camping merit badge requires 20 total), and completed a hike of 2 miles while wearing their backpack (a backpacking merit badge requirement).
