Location & Time:
§ The hike is planned to take place at Hanging Rock State Park.
§ The address is 1700 Hanging Rock Park Road, Danbury, NC 27106-7417.
§ The Visitor Center phone number is 336-593-8480.
§ You can visit the Website: https://www.ncparks.gov/hanging-rock-state-park .
Timing:
§ Please arrive at 12:30 pm.
§ We will meet in front of the visitor’s center.
§ Please check in with Hope or the Leader with the clipboard, as we have the event list of participants. If your schedule changes and you are not coming or you run into travel issues and will be late, please contact Hope at 615-516-8922 as cell reception allows. We will be looking for you if you are on the sign up list.
§ You may leave anytime after the cookout.
Plan:
§ The park rangers will have a presentation for the scouts at 1:00 pm in front of the visitor center. The presentation will last about 30 minutes.
§ The hike will begin around 1:40 pm. We will be hiking in one big group made up of smaller groups based on den.
§ We will hike the Hanging Rock Trail (1.3 miles).
§ The trail is wide and has a gravel surface for most of its length, but becomes more narrow and rocky near the top. This trail, although short, is rated “more difficult” since it climbs steeply and has some obstacles.
§ Parents: to ensure everyone’s safety, please stay with your children at all times (unless you have arranged for another able adult to accompany them). This is a “must” since the terrain can be treacherous. We request that your child be within arms length of you.
§ Please check in with Hope (or the Leader with the clipboard) once you are off the trail. If you don’t check in, we will assume you are still on the trail and if we can not locate you within a reasonable amount of time,
we will begin combing the trail with the Ranger looking for you and your family.
§ At present, we are planning to have dinner served at the picnic tables past the Visitor’s Center, if that changes we ill let everyone know.
What to bring:
§ Please wear class B uniform (cub scout t-shirt) for this event.
§ Please bring a side dish to go with hot dogs and chili if your last name starts with A – G. If your last name begins with letters H – Z, please bring a dessert.
§ Wear sunscreen
§ Bring a light jacket or rain poncho for weather
§ Bring a reusable water bottle for the hike
Cookout
§ We are fortunate to have Mack Moore organizing the cookout. We will be having hotdogs grilled at the picnic area along with chili for the hotdogs! We will have bottled waters to drink. (I may also bring some lemonade.)
I look forward to seeing you there,
Hope

What to bring:
Each person will need at least a sleeping bag and pillow, and whatever else you feel is necessary to be comfortable. Some campers change into sleeping attire, while others wear something comfortable in which they can remain all night. Although the museum will remain dimly lit throughout the night, flashlight will come in handy. We will be serving a snack during the evening. If you do bring snack items they may only be eaten in our Food Works area. Vending machines are available for snack items and soft drinks if desired until one hour before “Lights Out”.
