A number of scouts from Troop 32 took the challenge and participated in the Devil’s Lake 52nd Anniversary hike on October 3rd as well as camping later that evening. 
Together with approximately 1,700 cub scouts, girl scouts, boy scouts and adventurers they traveled 14 miles at this event. The hike elevation started at 650 feet and climbed to an elevation of 1,400 feet. That’s the vertical equivalent of a 75-story building and our scouts did it twice on two sides of the lake!
The challenging and rocky bluff trails provided awe-inspiring views of beautiful Devil’s Lake and it’s surrounding landscape. The day was gorgeous and allowed us 
to capture some great photos. The long hike on the pristine bluffs was followed by an evening dance in the historic and newly renovated WPA pavilion. We had a great time participating in this event with so many scouts and scouters. Each participant completing the 14 mile hike was awarded a special multi-colored anniversary patch.
