Saturday, March 28-29, 2015 Our Spring backpack trip will take place along the hills of the KIsatchie National Forest. Just north of Alexandria is a playground for hiking, camping and backpack cooking called The Backbone Trail. With three intersecting trails, that all meet on a beautiful hill top campsite overlooking the valley, your scout will find it hard to believe he is still in Louisiana. The patrols will choose their trail in the weeks to come. We will leave on Saturday morning and the patrols will take different trails up to the campsite on Saturday afternoon, and then return on Sunday. We usually stop for Mass on the way back. More details to come.
