Be Prepared

You must read Page 354,360-364 of the Handbook.

This is training required so that you can do the 5mile hike (backpack trip) the following week and fulfill your requirements. You will need to "Using a compass and a map together, take a five-mile hike (or 10 miles by bike) approved by your adult leader and your parent or guardian.".

Well, this requirement is all about knowing where you are on the map and being able to verify where you are. So, you will need to identify the trail, and know your elevation at your stops, and be able to confirm your position on the map.

You can signup on the webpage. Use ONLY YOUR FIRST NAME!
