Pack 951 Hiking Program
Hiking offers a great opportunity for Scouts to gain outdoor skills that make them more self-reliant and build character.
Pack 951 has six hikes scheduled for 2019-2020. Hikes will take place on Saturdays, beginning at 3 PM. See the Hiking Calendar for details on each outing.
Our next hike will be at the Briar Chapel trails on Nov 23, 3:00 PM, at Briar Chapel Parkway / Tobacco Farm Way, Tobacco Farm Way, Chapel Hill.
Scouts "learn by doing" when they explore trails and complete challenges they may have thought were beyond their ability. Scouts who participate in the hike will earn a Hiking Stave. Part of the fun of earning hiking staves is purchasing hiking medallions to attach to it.
Please contact Nick Van Hoene at nvonhoene@gmail.com with any questions.
