Sometimes the trip is just as much fun as the destination. Turn a long distance trip into an adventure for your scouts by finding interesting stops along the way. Instead of stopping at rest stops for meals, find local parks to bring a picnic lunch. Visitor centers along your route will have lots of great ideas for stops and excursions. Going a little out of your way can lead to the most amazing experiences for your scouts!
