Come join us on a Troop 98 Day Hike in Philly with an unusual twist. You'll be trying to visit as many historical and unusual locations and take photos to prove you were there.
This hike is a great way to start getting in shape (whether for Philmont or anything else), plus you'll get to know a little more about Philadelphia!
Depart from AMBLER SEPTA STATION on the 9:53AM train to Center City/Jefferson Station (arrives 10:30AM). Please arrive at the Station platform no later than 9:45AM, and leave time for parking and walking to the station. Parking is $2.
You can pay your train fare with a credit or debit card. If you have a SEPTA Key Card, please bring it (make sure there's at least $15.50 for each person you're keying for; Scouts may end up riding for free).
Groups will begin at approximately 11AM and go to as many locations as they can in 3 hours (you will receive a map and clues).
Get to Campo's restaurant (214 Market Street) by 2:30PM for lunch (bring $20), then return on the 3:20PM train back to Ambler, arriving 3:51PM.
We need adult help to make this event safe and successful. But in order to come with us you must have completed PA Background Clearances (instructions) or be a registered leader in BSA.
No uniform required
CHECK THE WEATHER before you go on this trip [forecast for Philly].
Wear appropriate clothes for the hike, including your hiking boots if you went to Philmont. Bring rain gear, water, perhaps a small pack, and about $20 for lunch and any additional spending money you might want.
