Scout Blog: Eno River Kayaking & Canoeing Trip

Canoeing and kayaking down the Eno River was a blast. We learned a lot and got the opportunity to experience new things. Many scouts overcame fears and were very brave in doing so. We talked while we paddled allowing scouts to get to know each other better, parents too. We stopped in a nice flat area for lunch about halfway through the trip. Molly, Altea, and Eva did an excellent job making the grilled cheese and everyone else helped out and stepped in when help was needed. We had a great system that allowed us to make the grilled cheeses quickly to feed all the hungry mouths. After lunch, we got back to paddling and had quite the adventure going through some rapids. Everyone fell out of their boat at some point during the trip except for Gracie, the kayaking pro. Molly shared her interest in snakes with us and picked one up! Eva was great at paddling through the rapids. Gretchen both canoed and kayaked. Leah was a great leader while paddling and also during lunch. Altea remained optimistic and encouraged the other scouts. Overall it was a great trip, we learned a lot, made mistakes, and had lots of fun.
