So Nick, Nolan, and Ty went on a hike with the troop. Of course they chose to backpack an EXTREME trail, off the beaten path. They encountered some great challenges along the way, but ultimately made it out after 3 days. They did something really hard, learned how to sacrifice for others in their group and give up the Easy life for a few days. They have done many hikes previously, but this surpassed them all. I'm grateful for the many learning opportunities they have to become men! I am grateful to the youth leaders who are such great examples to my boys. They can do hard things.
