The irony in the bad incident is you had leaders that went the extra mile to
make those kayaks. Not every leader would be willing to help build several kayaks from scratch. They were just plain stupid to not test them out.

Yeah, those scoutmasters messed up big time. No denying that. But let's not be critical of ALL scoutmasters.

I disagree with this. They were stupid to build them. Go rent or borrow or buy

The theory is they would have rented after testing them on safe waters.

Yup. Build canoes, play at Huntington res. Then raft down the canyon with guides

Exactly this. The boats they made were a really cool project on their own, but for paddling around on a stillwater

Yeah, you can build fiberglass canoes that will last a long time. Every ward has a guy with the skills, budgeting

Duh! Fiberglass. I'm sitting here picturing a guy teaching scouts to plane and bend wooden canoes. Brain fart.

Hahahha. I can get that. Yeah, I'd assume setting up a teak deck would be a bit different than a wet-layup of fiber

I REAALLLY want to do the Boundary Waters some day. Just with adults, or maybe with my own kids, though.

We did a multi-day kayak trip down the upper Salt River from the confluence of the Black and White to Roosevelt Lake.

Maybe, but it was an awesome experience those boys will never forget, nor the leaders either.

Our Stake President has put a hard cap of 3 hrs of travel for us.

We now have a similar restriction. We couldn't do this trip with our current stake presidency.
