Bear Lake Aquatics Base day 1
We started out with 12 scouts this morning, hopefully we get home with at least half of them.
The camp is incredible and the lake is beautiful and warm (well anything is warm compared to the lake at Camp last year).
The boys all passed the cold water check with flying colors and the first day of merit badges was a success.
