There and back again.. A troops tale.

Let's just say, we are "Enthusiastically Exhausted". 

Our two week trip has ended last night. Our adventures out West have been simply amazing. 

From chills to thrills, Caving, zip lining, Kayaking, repelling, surfing, giant canoes, spiritual islands, 

banana slugs, Long beach, pool break and tons of good food.. yumm Jiggers.. That was just our first week.  

Our second week was spent with our fellow scouts from accross Canada. 3200 scouts to be more precise. 

We jumped in immediately making new friends, trading badges and participating in some pretty awesome activities. 

But with all this, it was the friendships made that were a key element to the success of this event. 

I have overheard many answers to the famous question in the last two days, "What are you going to do when you get home?"

All our scouts are looking forward to return to their home lives and their PS3. But with a grin, they all invited each other to come over and play. 

I am sure , that when they woke up this morning. They found it quite quiet in our rooms. 

With a deep breath, we will relive all that we have done, and all the people that was along for the journey.  

So hopefully this blog will help you remember the good times, the sites, the friends and the great memories. 

Don't cry because it's over. Smile because it happened.
