Other Important Notes!
Sunday January 12th
This month will be at Harris starting at 1pm.
Can't join during the Pack Hike? Then grab your scout and the whole family if you want and track your miles:
Here are the requirements:
Location must be the same as designed for the pack hike
Miles logged will be a max of 3 miles. Meaning if the scout is having so much fun that they end up hiking 5 great but we will only be logging 3 or if a lion can only hike 1.5 miles then they would get 1.5 miles logged.
Only 1 hike may be used for the monthly hike. meaning if a scout goes every weekend to hike 3 miles...yea but we are only logging 1, 3 mile hike
Use the Alt Trails App to log your hike route and length. Send a screenshot of the route with miles from the app to Ms Kim(kjhedman@gmail.com) and she will get it logged.
Reminder: At the Pack level miles are rounded to the nearest half mile....so if you hike 1.10 miles this will be logged as 1 mile....if you hike 1.36 miles this will be logged at 1.5.
Annual Blue and Gold Banquet Sunday February 23rd
