Hello Pack 722,
First Event - Blue Hills Hike
First Event - Blue Hills Hike
This Sunday August 18th is the Blue HillsTrail Hike......the trail is a 8 mile hike (all off road) with elevation changes in the terrain. There are no bathrooms, so digging cat holes would be our only course of action and there are no places to replenish water bottles (carrying potable water for entire hike). Class A uniforms are mandatory because this is a historical hike.
Its been said before but I'll say it again, this hike isn't intended for the younger Scouts. They have their hiking opportunities during our Town Forest cleanup hikes and will have an opportunity to complete longer hikes when they are older.
We will be stopping approximately half way through the hike to eat.
Due to the length of the hike (5-6 hours), we will meet promptly at 8am. The meeting spot is the Blue Hills Trailside Museum 1904 Canton Ave Milton, MA. We will send word to those attending if we switch the meeting spot.

Second Event - Moulton Park Clean Up
