or those scouts who have been working on the Hiking Merit Badge...this is it! The 20-mile hike!

The sign-up is posted on the T318 homepage.

The 20-mile hike is for scouts who have completed the previous hikes for the Hiking Merit badge.

However, if you are a scout that wishes to join us for a part of this hike or to help cheer on your fellow scouts as they work to complete the hike, please contact one of us below. This hike will consist of two 5-mile loops and a 10-mile loop so there would be opportunities for other scouts to walk shorter distances.

For those on the 20-mile hike, we are also asking that at least one parent of the scout that is hiking also join us. If a parent is not available to hike, we will need to have contact information and a parent would need to be available should their scout not be able to complete the entire route.

WHERE: We will begin the hike at Wolf Road Woods, Willow Springs, IL.
Parking lot is on Wolf Road. Take 95th Street to Wolf Road follow until Wolf Road ends
WHEN: Sunday, October 8, 2017. Please be there NO LATER THAN 7:00am.
