Show Scouts experience thrills on trip By GARY BEST Members of Boy Scout Troop 849fromthoBattICrMk lit Ward recently returned from a canoe trip down 75 mOss of Utah! Qrao Bint. Preparations for their trip started month ago whan scoutmaster Jim Pehrson and assistant Blaina Thatcher suggested the idea to troop members. Nszt cams a hunt lor enough canoes, paddles, life vests and gear for each troop member. Finally, each boy earned $65 for food and travel expenses to participate on the trip. After obtaining the necessary permits from Utah's State Park Service, on Monday, Aug. 8, the troop launched their canoes at Qreen River State Park in green River, Utah. Traveling two boys to each canoe, the scouts spent their first night camped alongside Crystal Geyser. Crystal is a man-made cold water geyser made years ago by an oil-drilling company exploring for oil. Instead they hit a pocket of water and C02 gas which erupts three to four times a day. During their five days on the river, the young men and their leaders gained a real appreciation for nature. Each day held new adventures as the young men encountered beaver, Canadian geese, deer, Great Blue Heron, Indian rock art, peregrin falcons, legions of mosquitoes, sun, rain and even a rattlesnake, just to name a few. Once past Ruby Ranch, some 25 miles down river, all signs of civilization disappear. Beyond this point, all travelers are committed to the river for at least the next 50 miles as they drop into an ever deeper river gorge with inspiring new vistas at every turn. Soon any signs of the hand of man seem to disappear. All trash and solid waste are carried out by campers, making it easy to place oneself in a state of mind to imagine having some of the same thought Major John Wesley Powell had when he first traversed Mary Udall spends month with Norwegian Scout troop Mary Udall, daughter of Or.Msrc and Ruth Udall of Lindon, recently returned from a month's visit with a Norwegian Girl Scout Troop in Mo i Rora, Norway. Mary and her sister, Sarah, became acquainted with this troop last summer when they stayed at a chalet in Switzerland for a 10-day session. The chalet is one of four national Girl Guide and Girl Scout world centers. After spending three weeks in Mo i Rora, Mary attended an International Jamboree, Soloe-94 in Leirhefte.Norway with the troop from Mo i Rora, which is located on the Arctic Circle. The group consisted of 14 girls and four adults and they traveled a day by train to Leirhsfte, Norway. The camp is the first joint jamboree for the Norwegian YWCA Guides and YMCA Scouts, and the largest camp ever arranged by these two organizations. For three years more than 100 people worked hard to make the camp a reality. Guiding and Scouting all over the world is based on the same principles. Theirs were scouts from 28 different countries, mostly from Europe, and none from the USA except a troop of Girl Scouts from a Yard of Week receives The Yard of the Week winners s for the week of Aug. 22 ware announced an-nounced today. .

At one point in the trip travelers encounter an area called Bow Knot Bend where the river makes a five mile loop around a narrow strip of land only 600 feet across. Here boaters can hike up and see the river running on both sides if they wish. The scouts encountered two other groups during their river expedition. The first was a group of river enthusiasts who traveled all the way from Kentucky to experience Utah's great outdoors. Their trip would end at the confluence of the Green and the mighty Colorado where a jet boat would meet them and shuttle them up the Colorado Mary Udall military base in Germany..

The other river runners were a group of University of Utah students who were justputtinginatMineral Bottoms with rubber rafts to float down through Cataract Canyon and on down to Lake Powell. The entire 75 mile stretch of river the scout troop traveled is rather mild water this time of year. Some of the biggest challenges are avoiding the many sand-bars, the sun and mosquitoes, and carrying or cleaning enough drinking water to last the entire trip. Excessive silt and bugs' like giardia make it necessary to make Some serious prior planning in this regard.

Finally, on their fifth day on the river, the troop reached Mineral Bottoms where early prospectors have cut a road down off the top of the canyon, sometimes through solid sandstone in their search for uranium ore. At last, the boys loaded their canoes and gear and said goodbye to the Green River, but Ifaey brought home with them a few precious pictures and a lifetime of memories.
