Canoeing/Rafting down the St. Mary's River Scout Camp July 3-5, 2013

For the first few days of our summer Scout camp in 2013 we did more water sports.  So we white water rafted one day and canoed the next day.  We covered the St. Mary's river from the U.S./Canada border all the way to the bridge crossing east of Cardston.  They were a few really nice hot days and they were great for getting wet.  The area we camped in was superb and the boys had a blast.  The last day of the camp we did Crypt Lake and it is mentioned in another post.
