Get ready to explore the great outdoors with Pack 564! As announced at the last pack meeting, we’re starting a year-round hiking program to provide scouts and their families with more opportunities to get into the outdoors.
We’ll have one hike each month of the year, most of them 2-3 miles in length. Events should typically last no more than a couple of hours.
After successful completion of their first hike, scouts will earn a Pack 564 hiking club patch (design coming soon!). After 50 miles, they will earn a customized hiking stick emblazoned with their name on it!
We will need several adults willing to serve as hike leaders throughout the year to help keep the group together and provide some outdoor skills instructions.
For full details, go to the new hiking program page.

Pack 564 runs a booth at the Scout Show at the Gwinnett County Fairgrounds each year where kids can make their own wood-burned neckerchief slides and necklaces. The show is coming up on Saturday, but two 1-hour-long shift remain open — from 1-2 and from 2-3.
and Twilight Camp throughout the region. The Lilburn camps will be June 8-12 at Good Shepherd Presbyterian Church. Remember that you can use your Cub Bucks to pay registration fees and you can still build your account by selling Camp Cards.
