Please join Troop 58 for a White Water Rafting Adventure!The troop will be returning to Ohiopyle, PA and rafting the famous Youghiogheny River (locals call it the “Yok”).  The Lower Yok is famous in the whitewater rafting community for its exciting rapids and beautiful scenery.  The Yok is a processional river used by olympians because of the consistent flow of the water. It’s one of the best white water rafting rivers in the country so I highly recommend you sign up.Check out this video compiled from prior year White Water Rafting trips: This year we will be camping at OHIOPYLE STATE PARK, PA.  This campsite is a past favorite and includes access to a bathhouse with showers.PA State Parks – OhiopyleDeparture will be 5:30 PM from Trailside MS.  Remember to bring your Friday dinner with you in hand.  This is a popular event for the Troop so we may need help from extra drivers who would enjoy camping with us.  On Saturday afternoon ( 1:00 PM) we will depart on a 7.5 mile white water rafting trip on the Lower Youghiogheny River.  The trip will take approximately 3 hours and include Class II-IV rapids.  The outfitter will provide a guide with each raft.  Towels and dry clothes can be left in cars at the outfitter for use on return.https://www.wilderness-voyageurs.comScouts and adults must RSVP for this trip by Sunday, May 5th so that we can get final headcount to the raft company on Monday May 6th.Cost will be $125 including rafting, campsite fees and food.In addition to the BSA Permission Form at the Troop Track link below, all rafters must complete the Wilderness Voyagers  online waiver below prior to Trailside departure. Activity Waiver for Group 143388-WallIf you have any questions or concerns about this campout, please do not hesitate to reach out to the scout lead – Velan Natarajan – or the adult lead – Mr. Wall.
