Nancy and I have been off “playing” again. (Nancy was playing, I was working.) We attended a BSA training course called Powder Horn offered by the Grand Teton Council at our Island Park Scout Camp. I served on staff and Nancy was a participant, but there wasn’t much difference in what we did.
The purpose of Powder Horn is to train Scout leaders how to organize and plan high adventure activities for older Scouts and Venturers, and to expose the participants to a variety of high adventure programs presented by experts in the field. We learned about primitive living skills, mountaineering, low impact camping, backpacking, fly tying and fly fishing, ecology and plant identification, dutch oven cooking, whitewater river running, scuba diving, sailing, caving, mountain biking, GPS navigation, expedition planning, climbing and rappelling, rifle, pistol, and shotgun shooting, archery, and working with youth.
Here are photos of some of the things we did:
