Also Presenting With
Chuck Rose
In 1972, Chuck Rose joined Boy Scout Troop 56 in Roseau, Minnesota on a Monday and went on his first canoe trip the following Saturday; they went to the Northwest Angle of Lake of the Woods. There, he heard stories from other boys who had been to the Boundary Waters Canoe Area the previous summer. During the 1980s, he led trips for the Boy Scouts out of Ely, Minnesota, Bissett, Manitoba, and Atikokan, Ontario. Canoe tripping inspired him to earn a PhD in Water Resources and teach Environmental Science at St. Cloud State University in Minnesota. He volunteers teaching Wilderness First Aid and water quality. Recently retired, he lives in Sartell, Minnesota overlooking the Mississippi River.

Lost.
Or the portage trail was, anyway. Ten Boy Scouts and their four adult leaders found themselves confused, at least temporarily, along the shore of an unnamed pothole. As frustration mounted, they pitched their tents on a big rock near the shore.
From this humble beginning, Northern Tier launched a 50-year program where nearly 16,000 participants (so far) have logged 100,000 camper days of some of Scouting's most extreme highest adventure outpost, near and in the Atikaki Provincial Park, Manitoba.
This presentation is based on the recent book of the same title.
