2) Trek being considered (can’t guarantee the dates; spots are filling up fast) - Coral Reef Sailing - CR071422 (Jul 14 - 20, 2022) | 7 Days

Program Name: Coral Reef Sailing  -  Live onboard a sailing vessel, snorkel, and sail the waters surrounding the Florida Keys

3) Estimated Cost per Participant - $1,400 +\- $150 (final cost will depend on total number of crews and travel arrangements)
4) Size of Crew:  8 (2 adults minimum, 6 scouts); their must be at least 5 scouts per crew.  Adults cannot make up 50% or more of the crew.
5) Initial Deposit - $250 due immediately.

 If you are interested in participating, please plan on attending the planning meeting!

At 75, Muir became the oldest American to reach the top of the world. He spent the two years between attempts training his body — and mind — for another attempt. In May 2021, Muir was part of a team of nine climbers and 20 sherpas who reached the summit on the same day. “I was just overwhelmed with the emotion,” Muir said on the Today Show. “To be quite honest, I thought about my family, I thought about my grandchildren, one of whom was born while I was on this expedition, and I started crying. It was just kind of this emotional outlet.” While he’s understandably proud of his Everest climb, Muir tells Bryan on Scouting that he’s just as proud of his status as an Eagle Scout.

”I have always thought Scouting was one of the most important influences on my life,” he says. “The skills I learned there have served me well ever since. I’m proud to be an Eagle Scout and a member of the Order of the Arrow.”
