This is a ten-mile (loop) hike for one of the options below:

OPTION B: conditioning for Ransburg
Preparation for the 10-Mile Hike
It is VERY important that everyone be on time for the hike. You MUST Sign-Up on-line BY WEDNESDAY, June 21st.
We will hike as a group, so when we are done, please don't head to your cars and leave. We will all gather at the end before leaving and you must sign out. If you are hiking for the merit badge, you will need to have reviewed the merit badge worksheet. Remember there are pre- and post- requirements for each hike.
A copy of the map is posted to the T318 Hiking page. Remember to print a copy of the map before the hike on Saturday. You are responsible for bringing your own map and taking care of it.
What You Need
A GOOD ATTITUDE! Activity Uniform (Class B shirt). A Daypack with WATER (do not bring disposable plastic water bottles...you should have a reusable water bottle), an orienteering COMPASS, a FIRST AID KIT, your BOY SCOUT HANDBOOK, RAINGEAR and appropriate clothing. You should bring a SNACK and a light lunch. A 10-mile hike will likely take between 4-5 hours depending on the number of stops. Since this is a paved path, lightweight hiking shoes or good supportive gym shoes are recommended for this trail. Dress appropriately for the weather.
Check emails the night before to see if the hike is cancelled.
