Hiking is one of our favorite adventures, and the whole family is encouraged to come! Be sure to bring the six essentials to every hike and campout — scouts are always prepared.

1. First-Aid Kit: A small, simple kit containing basic supplies like adhesive bandages, antiseptic wipes, antibiotic ointment, and any personal medical needs.
2. Filled Water Bottle: A reusable water bottle filled with clean water to stay hydrated.
3. Flashlight: A small, working flashlight for emergency use or unexpected darkness.
4. Trail Food: Healthy, energy-boosting snacks like trail mix, granola bars, or dried fruit.
5. Sun Protection: Sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) and a hat or sunglasses to protect against UV rays.
6. Whistle: An emergency tool used to signal for help if separated from the group.

Our scouts also have the opportunity to attend BSA Summer Camps — great chances to learn scout skills, make friends, and explore the outdoors. There are two options to choose from:

• Aquia District Day Camp — available for rising Tigers and up
• Goshen at Camp Ross — available for rising Webelos and up
