Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness
| Eleven Scouts and seven adults travelled to Minnesota's Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness July 19-25, 2004. Because of crew size restrictions, they split up into two crews of nine persons each. Here are some photos of one crew's trip. | |||

| Look out, below! | Can someone move this rock? | Will this stuff ever come off? | 9 forks, 9 knives, 9 spoons, ... |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| I wonder what kind of ripple pattern a toad would make? | |||
