I think that all of the Troop had a great time during the trip. It was really fun to see the scouts go from barely somewhat experienced to a moderate level of experience. The Trip difficulty level in my opinion definitely suited the experience level of the boys. The group was between 12 and 14 years old. I know that seems like they are a little young for a back country trip like this but overall all the scouts did really well. One thing that all of the adults could have worked on was being a little more patient we it comes to the speed and ability levels of the scouts. I do not think that had a very large negative impact but time will be the only way to tell whether or not it will have a impact. Other than that the adults and the boys had a really fun time .
