We have an exciting new event series for everyone. This past year, the Lions Den and Tigers den trialed an OPTIONAL monthly hiking club. Most of our hikes are near Mt Tabor UMC within a roughly 20 minute driving radius. We are living the mantra of “There can be no scouting without outing”. We hold these hikes once a month, and if you are free you can come on out. Most will be on Sundays, as we have seen that Saturday games usually interfere far too much. Families are welcome too, as very few of the hikes we do are super difficult. The scouts really seem to enjoy them so far. 

Have your scout bring the six essentials to hiking: Water (bring cold water, it will be hot in the summer hikes), trail food, sunscreen, a flashlight (just to get in the habit), a first aid kit (can be simple), and a whistle. We encourage the scouts to bring their own little backpack to store these items in and take responsibility over. 

Hikes usually last for about 2 hours, and usually end with scouts playing together.
