Have you continued any of your Award activities? If so, what:
I am now in love with hiking and canoeing that I did for my expeditions. I will go hike mountains and go camping on my own time or with my friends outside of the award.
Tell us the story behind your photo:
This was one of my expeditions for my silver star level. This picture shows a big group of cadets that were all selected to do a national award. This picture shows the near end of our expedition and we were all burnt out after a 94km bike ride and white water rafting. At the end of the day we all decided to have a fire and we ate some real food for the first time, pizza!!!! We took this picture to remember how hard we worked in order to still have a good time. We were happy to all be together enjoy a nice warm fire! This was my favourite expedition I have ever done and I would do it again in a heartbeat.
