TROOP 2'S HIGHLAND TREK 2016!
On June 28th, 14 members of Troop 2 from Milford, Massachusetts will be traveling to the Scottish Highlands to visit our friends in the 3rd Inverness (Crown) Scout Group in Inverness, Scotland. This trek is designated 'Highland Trek 2016', or HT16.
We have been in contact with the 3rd Inverness (Crown) Scout Group since the year 2000. This will be Troop 2's third trek to the Highlands, having visited Scotland in 2003 (HT03) and 2011 (HT11), while 3rd Inverness (Crown) Scout Group has been over the pond to visit Milford on three separate occasions (2001, 2005 and 2008).
Follow our blog while we're away and keep up to date with our adventures; even add your own comments if you wish!
We expect to blog each day or two (as time and internet access allow) and also plan to add photos of our daily highlights, so check back regularly!

Additional Photos
Hi All. I was going to add photos to the posts, but thought it better to add them separately so all y'all don't have to go back and scour the page for your son.
Loch Ness Cruise
Things here are chilly, but all of the boys are well-rested and eager for the days' adventure: a boat cruise from Inverness, via Loch Ness, to Urquhart Castle.

We have arrived!
We arrived in Inverness right on schedule at 8:04 PM. Our scouts were quickly matched up with their host families, and after brief introductions they have gone off to their homes for the next week. Everyone is very excited.
And now a train!
We're on the final leg of our journey to Inverness. We've traveled by car, plane, bus, and now by train for the final 3 hours of our 24-hour journey to the Highlands!!
Edinburgh
While waiting for the train from Edinburgh to Inverness, we went outside to see a few sights. This is the Scott Monument.
So, we are in Shannon Airport, Ireland, any it is 3:30am, Boston time. Most of the boys didn't sleep on the plane, so they are making the best of their 4-hour layover before our flight to Edinburgh, Scotland.
Some of the boys got to rest...
While others taught Mr. Norris a new game
And Mr. Donahue reviewed the details of the next leg of the trip.
