Rosalia Scouts complete 50-miler

Rosalia Boy Scout Troop 588 completed a 55-mile hike and float trip in July. They hiked 31 miles on the Kettle Crest Trail, northwest of Kettle Falls, followed by 24 miles of kayaking/canoeing on Lake Roosevelt.

The troop started planning the adventure back in September and will earn the BSA 50-Miler award. Boy Scouts who completed the trek were Sam Pritchett, Jonah Shrode, Anthony Gehring, Zach Saens, Ben Pritchett, Austin Goyke, Riley Gehring and Isaac Fuchs with adults Clay Gehring, Bruce Pritchett, Pat Brown and Justin Fuchs. The scouts appreciate those who helped raise funds and provided gear and transportation.
