Hiking Program

The hiking program provides the pack an opportunity to enjoy an outdoor activity together that is healthful for Scouts, their families, and leaders by providing memorable outdoor experiences!  Hikes done with the Pack, Den, or with their families can be logged towards the official hiking program.

Recognition for each Scout is given for the following achievements:

• First Hike patch

• 10 Miles hiked patch segment

• 20 Miles hiked patch segment

• 30 Miles hiked patch segment

• 40 Miles hiked patch segment

When 50 Miles is achieved, each Scout will be awarded their own Pack 565 Hiking Stick presented at a monthly Pack meeting in recognition of their achievements.

See the Pack 565 calendar for when each month's hike is planned.  Hikes will vary in length and last approximately 1 - 1.5 hours.

Please contact the Hiking Coordinator (Tracy Peck) to record miles hiked or to check your current progress.
