Hiking Merit Badge


Remember to write up your 10 mile hikes (i.e. Ellie Lane/Iron Mountain loop from this last weekend!).

Last meeting, we talked about how there were 230+ Eagle Scouts in San Diego
Imperial Council last year, but only 80 hiking merit badges . . .and 10% came
from our Troop!

Many or our Scouts have done the hardest parts. The five 10 mile and the
one 20 mile hike. All that is left is for a little paperwork and a meeting
with a counselor (Dr. Solberg is a counselor).

Notes:

  1. You should read the merit badge pamphlet on the subject. Merit badge pamplets are available at your local Scout Shop or online at ScoutStuff.org.
  2. Hiking merit badge is on the Eagle Scout required list (requirement 3.j.). It is one choice of a group of three merit badges on the list.
