Preparation for the 5- or 10-Mile Hike
It is VERY important that everyone be on time for the hike. You MUST Sign-Up on-line BY FRIDAY, April 13th. We have a number of items that must be covered before we begin (including backpack inspection), so please be on time.
If you want to be signed off for a rank advancement requirement, you need to have your handbook. Be Prepared.
You will need to demonstrate your newly learned map and compass skills while on the hike. You don't get signed off just for showing up.
Be aware of your surroundings. You may be asked where we are on the map at any time!
We will hike as a group and take a short break at the end of the first 5-miles for sign out and book sign-off if you have completed the requirements for the hike. At the end of the 10-mile hike, we will gather for sign out and any remaining book sign-off. If you are hiking for the merit badge, there are both pre- and post-requirements for each hike so please be sure you review the pamphlet and/or worksheet ahead of time.
A copy of the map is on the T318 Hiking page (https://www.leaguelineup.com/miscinfo.asp?menuid=49&url=bstroop318). Please print a copy of the map before the hike on Sunday. You are responsible for bringing your own map and taking care of it.
