There will be no September hiking club hike. I can’t make the dates and other planning work. We’ll pick up in October, likely during the campout). Sorry again for the confusion.
August hiking club hike: Laurel Ridge Trail
The August Hiking Club hike will be at Laurel Ridge Trail at Buford Dam on Aug. 22.This moderate trail is a roughly 4-mile loop that features a few modest ascents but is otherwise mostly flat, with lots of wildlife and good views. We should have patches available for hikers by this hike, so come on out!
See the event page for this hike for more details! No sign up is necessary, just be at the trailhead no later than 10 a.m, on Aug. 22 ready to hike! Be sure to bring water. Check the hiking page for the full list of gear you should bring on this, and every, hike.
New hiking program starts in June
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.
