One of the most active of the many Boy Scouts of America troops in our area is Key Peninsula’s Troop 220, sponsored by the Key Peninsula Lions Club. A few weeks ago, members of the troop, their scoutmasters and accompanying dads braved the snow-smothered but fabulously beautiful slopes of Mount Rainier at its centerpiece, the area known as Paradise. While on the adventure, the troop hiked with snowshoes, set up camp, endured a pretty serious blizzard, ate hotdogs, dug snow caves, built igloos and survived sleeping in the latter without a single case of frostbite.
