Hiking is a terrific way to keep your body and mind in top shape, now and for a lifetime. Scouts learn about hiking precautions and planning, cover first aid, and hike several trails around camp. Hiking is offered as a partial at camp.

Getting ready
Do at home
Requirements 4e, 5. These can't be done at camp. The Scout finishes them with a merit badge counselor in your council, before or after camp. Camp records everything the Scout completes here.
Read the Hiking merit badge requirements on scouting.org.
Signing up
Your unit leader registers each Scout for classes in MyCouncil when your week's registration opens in late April. Classes fill up, so list a second and third choice for each session.
