| Boy Scouts - Turtle ID Trip-which was originally to be Snake ID Trip-but weather didn't prove good for snakes. May 12, 2001-the Snake ID Trip is scheduled for July 14, 2001 We all went to the Lehigh Canal and looked for turtles-The kids found some Musk and Painted Turtles-They did catch some Musk Turtles-They tried to catch Painted Turtles but the turtles were a bit too sneaky. They caught some frogs, too. They all got wet and muddy and seemed to be having a great time in the water-much to parents dismay :-) as they had to load all the muddy wet scouts into cars to go home. |
| Looking For Musk Turtles |
| I think they found some! |
| Ah Ha!! A Musk Turtle! and yes they bite!! |
| A Green Frog! |
| Part of the Merit Badge reguires the boys to take care of reptile or amphibian for a short time. This scout found his herp to care for that day. The frog will be released later, back to same place it was found. |
