The Navigators of TX-0411 worked on their aquatics trail badge and had lots of fun at Lake Georgetown last weekend.
This past weekend, Trail Life Troop 411 had the opportunity to go to the Aquarena Center in San Marcos, TX. The boys analysed water samples to find out how polluted the water might be by examining the bugs and larva they found in the samples. They also learned more about the local fish, underwater plants, and endangered species such as the blind salamander. On the glass-bottomed boat tour, they were able to see some of these fish and plants clearly under the water, as well as the low and high pressure springs that feed the lake. Here's another picture from the first individual unit meetings we had on February 23. The navigators here are brainstorming about the adventures they want to try to tackle over the next year. Here are our Woodlands Trail boys representing TX-411 and having a great time on February 23, 2014 at their first meeting of just the Woodlands Trail guys. Pardon me while I play catch-up on my postings. Here is a picture from our first meeting of Trail Life Troop TX-411.
