Red Flannel 2014

Our 2014 Red Flannel campout was held at Camp Ingawanis Ranger camp. We had beautiful weather. Stayed between 10 and 20 degrees. The scouts had time to sled and build Quinzees.

When we arrived, the scouts started to pile up snow for a quinzee.
What is a quinzee? Pile up a huge mound of snow, let it settle, then hollow it out.
It stays warmed inside and is VERY quiet to sleep in.

Starting to dig out a Quinzee. The start is the most difficult part. Once the inside is dug out enough to sit up, it goes much faster.
