Northern Tier 2010

We are still planning on a Troop Trip to Northern Tier, Ely, Minnesota, during the summer 2010...Mr. Larry Young will be coordinating the trip and will begin announcements in the immediate future. The minimum age is 14 and in good physical shape for this high adventure trip ( 40-60 pound packs and carrying the canoe at portages between lakes).

The Troop last made this trip in 2002 and it remains a "need to do" for Scouts and accompanying leaders. Northern Tier, posted on the Greater Alabama Council Web site, is a six day "on the water" canoe trip in US and Canadian waters starting in Ely, MN. Like Philmont, it is a pristine wilderness area, abounding with wildlife and clear star bright skies....fishing is part of it and they all but jump into the canoe....for later consumption or catch and release.

More information to follow for planning on this in june/july 2010.
