What started as a casual idea shared along a riverbank two years ago recently manifested into a history-making summit of Mount Rainier. The Coeur d’Alene-based Trail Life Troop 412 summited Rainier — a 14,411-foot climb — in June. It was the first group within the national organization to do so.  

The men of Troop 412 are no stranger to challenge; in fact, it is a cornerstone of their organization. “Trail Life Troop 412 uses the classroom of the outdoors and the skills needed to survive there as a way to empower, train and develop young men in their spiritual, mental and physical abilities,” Jereme Roodhouse, Adventure Advisor for the group, said.
