What a great experience the 3,500 Boy Scouts had at Riply Rendzvous 2011.
Troop 56 of Fairmont, MN was well represented with 10 boy attending the event, which happen once every 4 yrs. The weather was beautiful, and the boys said they all had a great time. Much appreciation goes out to all the leaders that planned this event, as well as the support provided by the Minnesota Army National Guard.
There was an Extreme Program, Adventure Program, and Action Center. Two years of planning went into this event, and the grand finally was a live stage show with a Jass Band, Singers, Comedians, and Gymnast.
The General of the Minnesota Guard gave a wonderful speech about how proud everyone should be to be a scout in the Boy Scouts of America.
The boys had an opportunity to learn some new skills and interact with other scouts from all around the Midwest and Canada. Learning to through the tomahawk is harder that it looks.
There where many displays and attractions. I really enjoys learning about many hand made canoes.
We even had time to find the lady slipper.
