Troop 23 has long been known as the “Canoeing Troop.” Besides dozens of trips to Boundary Waters Canoe Area in Minnesota, the troop also builds wood strip canoes. Since 1996, the troop has made five wood strip canoes. In addition, each boy and adult who goes on the high adventure trip to Boundary Waters, makes his or her own bent shaft paddle. A wood strip canoe that the troop has built as well as several paddles will be on display at the Speedway.
