Fifty and then some!

While the Troop prepares for this Summer's "50-miler" through conditioning hikes, gear preparation and trip planning start thinking about ways that you can contribute to a service project that can help to improve the trail once the final route is determined.  Opportunities should be discussed with Troop leaders who will then check with the recognized authorities responsible for the trail to determine the most practical options.  Bring your ideas to our next planning session for the hike.  Be sure to also check out the requirements for the 50-Miler Award to see how a small service project fits into the overall picture for a long-distance hike by demonstrating Leave No Trace principles as well as good stewardship of natural resources.
