September’s Pathfinder camp-out had a profound effect on my life because it meant a lot of firsts. It was the first time in the last decade that I spent a night anywhere other than at my parents’ or grandparents’ house.

As Chase pushed down the gas pedal, a big cloud of black smoke shot out of the back of the truck and the smell of burning motor oil filled the cab. It was in July, and we wanted to go camping.

I never wanted to leave. I truly thought my life was ending on that August day in 2010 as the Peter Pan bus pulled off the dirt bumpy road in New Hampshire on its trek back to the Bloomingdales parking lot in Connecticut. The night before, I stood on the shore of New Found Lake looking out at the horizon on my last night, arm and arm with my sisters, tears streaming down our faces as our beloved director quoted, "You never really leave a place you love; part of it you take with you, leaving a part

While on a hiking and overnight camping trip, a heavy storm rolled in and caused a boy scout and adult volunteer to die.
