This Saturday will be the 10th and last rappelling outing for 2025. Approximately 250 participants have enjoyed the courage- and confidence- building activity of rappelling from cliffs as high as 120 feet.

In order to continue having this activity available to scouts, trained adult instructors are needed, and needed to help with several outings each year. Training is generally offered in May, so stand by until details are available. Your help is essential!

Simon Kenton Council Cope and Climbing needs your help!
We are in need of Level 1 Climbing Instructors to be able to support ongoing rappelling outings for scout troops. Please consider helping by becoming a Level I instructor.
