Ada scouts ride the rapids
Ada Boy Scouts Kamron Wilkerson and Dexter Woods III recently returned from the 12-day national jamboree near Beckley, W Va. Dexter and Kamron (second and third on the port side of the raft) are shown whitewater rafting on the New River.
If you are near the New River, you go whitewater rafting because it's one of the best rapids around.
And, if you are near a national jamboree (held only every four years) you go. President Trump was among the speakers. More than 34,000 Scouts from 50 nations attended the jamboree.
