DISTRICT NEEDS

• Sunday May 3rd @ 7:00 - Grace Lutheran Church in AV.  Meet Scott Miller and Matt Lutz who recreated this trip.  

  • Hosted by Troop 298

  • Webelos age and older only please.

  • Please join us to hear their story.  Please RSVP to Jessica Hahn at jessamb72@yahoo.com.

  • Abstract:  In 1930 two novice paddlers—Eric Sevareid and Walter C. Port—launched a secondhand 18-foot canvas canoe into the Minnesota River at Fort Snelling for an ambitious summer-long journey from Minneapolis to Hudson Bay. Without benefit of radio, motor, or good maps, the teenagers made their way over 2,250 miles of rivers, lakes, and difficult portages. Nearly four months later, after shooting hundreds of sets of rapids and surviving exceedingly bad conditions and even worse advice, the ragged, hungry adventurers arrived in York Factory on Hudson Bay—with winter freeze-up on their heels.

  • In 2005, the 75th anniversary of this trip, two Northern Star Scout friends who met at Many Point Scout Camp decided to re-create this trip. Scott Miller and Matt Lutz will present a talk about their trip on Sunday May 3 at 7 pm at Grace Lutheran Church in Apple Valley.  Hosted by Troop 298.
