Kaltag Scouts Receive
4‘40-Below Certificate”
At the village of Kaltag, life
outdoors is such an ordinary way
of life that the boy* do not con
sider that they have made an
overnight hike unless they can go
out in 40 degree below weather.
The story is told by a Scout
master in Kaltag that they went
put in zero weather, four hours
later the weather was 20 degrees
below and during the night the
temperatures dropped to -40. Not
a boy came back until the end of
the trip and not one froze. In
stead they thought it was ordinary
that a Scout should live in the
wilds this way and were surprised
to receive the “40 Below Certifi
cate”, given to all Scouts camp
ing out when the temperature
drops below -40.
This year for the first time
there is a road in Kaltag. ft is
me mile long and the Scouts are
trying to get a used bicycle, so
they can take turns riding up and
down the road and work on their
“cycling merit badge.”
