What an awesome trip!

16 - 19 April 2010 Troop 12 traveled to Erlian on the Mongolian Border to visit the The Iren Dabasu Formation and the Iren Nor dinosaur site, which holds the largest intact fossilized dinosaur found to date. Camping in the Grasslands sounded like so much fun; we had rain, high winds, sleet, dust storms and sub zero weather - all within 48 hours. Fortunately there was plenty of dry sheep dung to stoke the fire with. A very long trek and well worth it. We experienced very old buddhist temples, mogolian hospitality, horseriding in the plateau and a unique hike through some of the largest modern wind farms in China.

Come join us...

Troop 12 continues to meet on Wednesday evenings from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. We are now meeting at Shanghai Community International School's (SCIS) beautiful new campus in Hong Qiao. Come join us! In fact our new meeting place is less than 100 yards from the old "Millington Camp" site (present day location at the crossroads of Hong Qiao Lu and Yan An Xi Lu), a site used by all of the old Shanghai Scouts, including Troop 12 from 1917 to 1950.
