Please remember: bring water and wear good shoes and sunscreen.

If you are doing this as a troop, I urge you to look at hiking badges, all of the ages have a trail adventure badge and daisies, brownies, and juniors just got three new bages, Numbers in Nature, Shapes in Nature, and Design in Nature. This is a great way to get a head start on badges this year.
