About our cover:
It is arduous, tiring, and knee-scraping, but the five-day, four-event Adventure Trek is a super adrenaline rush for Varsity Scouts and Venturers in Oregon's Cascade Pacific Council. In Michael McDermott's cover photograph, Venturer Steven Chambers of Crew 355, Hillsboro, Ore., sets the pace in the mountain biking event. Writer Jim Gullo describes all the action.
