First I would like to thank all those who attended the hike. It was a tough call waiting until the last minute to decide if we were going to hike or not but God was rooting for us and the weather panned out nice. We got off to a late start and covered three miles. While it was about 2 miles less than planned we did hit some pretty rugged trails making those 3 miles easily feel like 5-6; some of those climbs definitely got the heart pumping making for a great little work out for all.
Naturally we took several hydration breaks, had a nice lunch 130′ feet up at Indian Lookout and explored nature learning about poison plants, the state flower and more. we had a decent turn out of family members who joined us as well; parents, grandparents and siblings.
We’d like to thank everyone that came out. Due to your participation in today’s hike the pack met all requirements for the National Summertime Activity Award acknowledging that our pack offered a quality year round program. 50% of our scouts earned the individual national summertime award by participating in one pack activity a month through June, July & August and a couple of our Dens also earned the honor by having a 50% participation rate, meaning at least half of the den attended at least 1 activity per month.
The Tracey/Campagna Clan had a great time today. It was fun and a great work out for all. Let’s do it again soon. 🙂
