Pack 527:  Hiking!
Scouts and Parents!
The Hiking Club was established to help encourage our scouts and
their families to get outside, to get healthy and active, and to develop
important skills in areas such as camping and backpacking.  If your
scout plans to continue in scouting as a Boy Scout, these activities
will become even more central to their scouting experiences.  The
purpose of this page is to keep everyone up-to-date on our Pack's
hiking activities, with information on future hikes and updates on
recent hikes.  Check out the Hiking Mileage Chart link to the right.  
You can track the miles your scout's own hiking accomplishments.  
Check back often!

Leaders and Parents!
We want you to get in on this act!  If
you have a hike you would like to lead
for the pack, contact
Laurie to find out
how to make that happen.  Hikes
must be "pre-hiked" for minimal nasty
surprises and age appropriate, and a
first kit and BSA tour permit are
"musts".   Help our scouts learn to
love the outdoors and prepare them
for Boy Scouts!
Placerita Canyon:  January 31st, 2010
Night Hike at Placerita Canyon

On Saturday, March 20th at 6 pm, our pack has been invited to join Ranger Frank at Placerita
Canyon for a short hike in the dark!  This night hike will allow us to see and hear the nocturnal
animals come to life (if we stay nice and quiet, that is!).  Ranger Frank asks that we meet a little
before 6 pm.  Wear weather appropriate clothing and bring a flashlight along, though please
keep them off and away until told to turn them on.  This will be a short hike, only about 1-2
miles.  If you have any questions, please contact
Laurie.  See everyone there!
