Important Hiking Information

Troop 318 Hiking - What you need to know

Below are maps (some with notes) on hikes in the area. Some of these are routes that the troop uses on our organized hikes to fill rank advancement (5-miles) or for requirements for the Hiking merit badge (10 and 20-miles). When attending one of the troop organized hikes, be sure to print a copy of the appropriate map and bring it with you to the hike.

There are some other suggested shorter routes that you can take to prepare for longer hikes, or for you to simply enjoy a pleasant walk.
