June 5-12, 2014: Embracing our ancestors! These scouts travel to the Dominican Republic. What better way to learn about a culture than to experience it! The two younger scouts visit the Dominican Republic for the first time. They met native Dominicans, learn to deal with Dominican currency, learned about the making of cocoa, savored freshly made hot cocoa made on a wooden outdoor stove as even more cocoa beans were being roasted, drank coconut water straight from the coconut, breathed the fresh air from the mountains, swam in beautiful Caribbean beaches, ran horses on the beach, and realized that life experiences teaches us more and in better ways than the internet; and are now more fully aware that they are part of an amazing culture. This experience left them thirsty for more. We have unleashed a beast.
