Da de unge mænd fra Troop 16 i Columbus, Ohio, gik vest sidste sommer, gjorde de det med stil: 13 dage, tusinder af miles på et tog, seks større byer, to nationalparker ... og et kæmpe eventyr.

Fra Ohio til Montana's Glacier National Park og derefter videre til Seattle, Los Angeles og til sidst Grand Canyon i Arizona, så spejderne og gjorde det hele.

De vandrede 6.000 fod over havets overflade ved gletsjeren og udforskede Seattles store underjordiske tunneler. De vovede dybt ind i Grand Canyon og udforskede derefter trætoppene ved en nærliggende rebbane.

De fleste spejdere havde aldrig vovet sig vest for Mississippi-floden før. For dem alle var det en livs livs tur.
