Boy Scout Troop 703 Has
Fourth
Overnight Trip
Is Made On The
French' Broad
Boy Scout Troop 703
launched its fourth annual
canoe trip at the Island Ford
Road Bridge at 10:30 a.m. on
Saturday, May 1st
This big event of the troop
program followed the two-night
fireless camping trip to Sini
ard’s Ridge on April 16th, 17th
and 18th. The Trotting Ta
rantulas, Kaola Bear and Never
Patrols turned out for this trip.
The following week the Kaola
Bear Patrol demonstrated its
superiority by having the big
gest turnout for the Project
SOAR Clean-up Campaign on
Country Club Road. All Scouts
that participated were awarded
knife lanyards by their Scout
master.
The 1971 trip down the
French Broad was relatively
dignified compared to last
year’s trip as no canoes upset
and no one fell overboard.
This accomplishment was at
tributed to the months of
practice and training that
preceded the trip. The fleet
of five canoes arrived about
fivg minutes ahead of sched
ule at 12:25 at Deerwood
Lane where lunch was eaten
and a sixth canoe joined the
group.
Explorer Scout John Gustaf
son commanded the first canoe
with bowman Brian Echols.
Other canoes were commanded
by David Hayes, Chris John
son, Robert Johnson, Earl John
son and Scoutmaster Dick Gus
tafson with bowmen Frank Cor
dell, Alan Winchester, David
Johnson, Greg Winston and
James Buchanan. All Scouts
making the trip were required
to be at least First Class in
rank.
As the lead canoe attempt
ed to thread the Wilson Eoad
narrows, a combination of
currents and the leverage of
several submerged branches^
caused it to end up with two-'
thirds of the canoe up a log
and out of the water. Bow
man Frank Cordell skillfully
stepped out on the obstruc
tion and refloated the craft
captained by David Hayes.
The canoes arrived at the
Barton Rites
