Hey Pack 454! Are you ready for some hiking? Our first Pack hike of the year will be the New York Creek Trail in El Dorado Hills on Saturday, October 15th @ 9:50am.
After the hike, your Scout can participate in making a scarecrow for the El Dorado Hills Scarecrow Contest to be displayed at the CSD.
This is a great opportunity for you and your Scout to review The Outdoor Code and Leave No Trace Principles. Look for any adventure requirements that this hike could complete in your Scout's Handbook.
Guide your Scout in packing their own backpack for the hike. Make sure they include the Cub Scout Six Essentials for hiking: First Aid kit, filled water bottle, flashlight, trail food, sun protection, and a whistle. I would also recommend some bug repellent. Scouts can wear their pack Class B t-shirt.
