    Nothing beats spending time on the water. Do you have training trips planned?

    Also, will you be doing a lot of portaging? May want to practice hiking with a heavy pack if so.

    And its with a scout group; if my mom dosent get in shape either none of the female scouts can go because she will be the only female leader, technically im not in the group yet but I will be eligible to join before they leave for the trip so I cant go with on any training

    Venturing?

    I went with my sons' Boy Scout Troop to the Boundary Waters 2 years ago. Great trip but difficult; a lot of rocky portages, rain, and wind. Make sure you know how to paddle!
