Troop 13 has, over the years, gone on a lot of trips to a lot of places. The biggest problem facing us, and likely any troop, is "institutional memory," being able to keep track fo when we've gone someplace and arguably more important, what we can do while there. Scouting is "fun with a purpose" so know what activities are available in the area is critical to the "purpose" part.
So the "purpose" of this handbook is not to log our trips, but rather to keep an inventory of things that can be easily done at each location. It's a sparse handbook right now, but every book starts with the first page. This is ours.
Here are some we've not yet indexed with more information:
