Tour of Scout's Northern Tier Base - Ely.

Kevin was given a tour of the the Northern Tier Scout base in Ely, Minnesota while speaking at the 2014 alumni gathering. Over 5000 youth go through this place each year, heading out for a canoe trip in the BWCA and Quetico. Fantastic!

Kevin thank you for posting this, and for all the time you put in helping and showing the younger age group the joys of the great out doors. Both of my sons were and are in the boy scouts, my youngest is in his last year of scouts. we were very luck to find a troop with great kids, and great adult leadership.From troop 101 in the great state of Alabama, thank you......

I was a guide at Charles L. Summers, the summer of 2011, I took 10 crews out that summer. it was amazing, I've been to the boundary waters with the scouts since I was 11 nearly.

Just used one of those infamous Coleman Peak1 stoves a few weeks ago on my Boundary Waters trip. My sister and I kept joking about the movie "Earnest Goes to Camp" when he lights up the coleman lantern....and it takes off like a rocket from him pumping it up too much, haha. They are great little stoves.....but heavy if you include the fuel. My first few trips to the BWCA were in an aluminum canoe aka "solar oven".... never realized you could get sunburned on the bottom of your knees and chin until I spent a week up there paddling around in one.

so thats what it looks like back in there.i have only seen the camp from the water as i paddled by over the years.

Among 3 treks Atikokan, Ely, Manitoba, which one is the most challenging?

[@Thereal111t]

Thanks for this. Too bad they weren't using fine vintage swedish camp stoves but nobody's perfect!

[@Wordsnwood]

wow, $250... did you take a few of those home with you?

[@buddylight2191]

Can you rent one with an engine on it?

[@FozzyJK]

Are they always selling some of those for $250? I have been hiking for a few years and have been looking for a cheap entry level canoe for my son and I. At that price it would be perfect
