Eighteen Boy Scouts from Troop No. 661 spent two days and nights "roughing" it and having a great time. The boys left Saturday evening for the Cutsforth Park area and hiked in one and a half miles to the Herman Winter cabin, pack ing their own gear. All 18 boys earned and completed merit badges for camping and hiking. A requirement for the camping badge was that the boys plan their own menus and cook all their own meals -which they did! To qualify for the hiking badge they had to hike five miles. So, just to be certain, the boys hiked about 10 miles, to the tops of both Little & Big Baldy. They were all proud of that feat and rightfully so. The boys worked on Forestry badges and almost completed them except for one minor detail. They had to identify 15 local trees and everyone was dismayed to learn that after identifying everything they saw, right down to the "Oregon grape", there just were not 15 different trees ! There were council fires in the evenings and one evening the boys were joined by a chorus of local coyotes - after which many young men thought sleeping in the cabin was a good idea. The boys were accompanied by leaders Herman Winter, Dail Turner, Del Piper, Glen Ward and John Gochnauer.
