Canoeing Merit Badge (Canoe Trip):
This was originally planned to be at the Elks but due to massive amounts of Sea Nettles it was moved to the Transquaken river the first bridge down Aireys road. Everybody had to flip there canoes about 3 times (some flipped more on accident) and canoe around. After all the requirements were complete Kelly Marshall led the group up to the damn about 1/2 mile up river.

Bike Ride:
This was a 10 mile trek on the relatively new Cross Island Trail up on Kent Island. This was for the new guys that needed it for their Rank Requirement. Anybody however was welcome. This was a very easy peddling trail very flat and paved. Everybody made it through the first half fine but our luck ran out when something got caught in the wheel of a kids bike and he fell on the fence. Then not 5 minutes after that Mr. Pat's tire went flat. So he was stuck walking until one of the gracious parents went and picked him up. However in went smoothly other then that and nobody had any trouble peddling it.
