SuperHikes and SummerHikes
The high point of every year is our week-long backpacking
trip every summer. Scouts (and Dads) work hard all year to raise the money to
pay for the trip and to work ourselves into shape to make a 30 to 50 mile trip
in the wilderness.
Every even-numbered year we take a SuperHike to some great destination out
of state. It's not unusual for the Troop to send 60 Scouts and Dads flying off
to Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Idaho or Colorado. Every odd-numbered year we take a
SummerHike somewhere in the great state of California. These trips usually
attract 20 to 35 Scouts and Dads.
Our recommended equipment list and menu for a SuperHike is now online.
