The Adventures of Scouting

I'm a life scout with a compleated eagle project, brotherhood member of the order of the arrow; and this blog is for me to reaccount the many years of boy scouting adventures that I've beeen through. includes everything camping, scouting, nature, and adventure

Renan Ozturk on Hkakabo Razi in Myanmar

The days spent ascending Hkakabo Razi have been some of the most challenging of my life. The mountain was incredibly beautiful, complex, and wholly underestimated. We pushed as hard as humanly possibly, but ultimately turned back shy of the summit without the safety margins and resources to take the necessary few days we would have needed. Winds howled, I broke my wrist (and don’t even remember how), and we had an adventure unlike any other.

"Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing." - Helen Keller A collection of pictures from a recent backpacking trip at grandfather mountain in NC nathan farber photography

Gay Scout’s Eagle Award Approved. After being denied his award for his sexual orientation, a local boy scout council approved Ryan Andresen’s application. 

"I don’t think sexual orientation should enter into why a Scout is a Scout, or whether they are Eagle material," said Bonnie Hazarabedian, a district review board member that signed off on Andresen’s application. "We felt without a doubt he deserved that rank."
