Adventure and camaraderie were the order of the day as Bordentown Scouts Troop 13 embarked on a whitewater rafting trip in May.
The outing to the Upper Lehigh River saw the scouts navigate nine miles of class 3 rapids under the guidance of Whitewater Challengers (whitewaterchallengers.com). With water temperatures of 54 degrees, wet-suited scouts had the opportunity to learn lessons in safety, leadership and cooperation.
“We had an incredible time on the water,” scoutmaster Rich Dziegielewski said. “The scouts faced the challenges head-on and worked together beautifully. It’s trips like these that really highlight the benefits of scouting.”
Troop 13 is always welcoming new members. Parents and guardians interested in learning more about joining Bordentown Scouts Troop 13 can email committee chair Kate Schwartz at troop13cc@gmail.com for more information.
