Three hike options are being offered in an effort to meet a range of skill and ability levels. o The novice 5-mile hike is an introduction to backpacking for our first time backpackers. o The 10-mile hike is designed to reinforce backpacking skills for those who have backpacked at least once before. o The 15-mile hike is offered for scouts who have mastered their backpacking skills and for those scouts who are currently working on their backpacking merit badge. The 5-mile and 10-mile hikes will depart early on Saturday, October 21st and hike during the day Saturday to our campsite destination. The 15-mile hike will depart on Friday afternoon and camp that night in a backcountry setting then hike on Saturday to the same campsite destination as the 5-mile and 10-mile hikes. During the meetings preceding the hike we will help our scouts prepare. The following backpacking instructional activities are planned for the meetings preceding the hike. o October 12: Backpacking gear and food preparation. Homemade alcohol stove activity o October 19: Minimum impact camping and Leave No Trace Final equipment check. Bring all equipment that you have, packed properly in your pack. Don't forget to fill your water bottles! Packs will be weighed and checked for appropriate gear. Packed backpacks will not go home for repacking, but will be left in the scout room to be loaded in vehicles when we depart for the hike. Additional items that are found to be necessary as a result of the pack inspection should be brought along when you come for the hike and added to your pack before starting on the trail.
