HIKING at MAX PATCH

On Saturday, November 6th we met at Pinnacle Church at 9:00am and then went on to the Harmon Den exit off of I-40, where we met up with Boy Scout Troop 326 at 10:00am. We had a short hike at Max Patch and everyone had a great time playing in the snow! What an adventure!

WHAT TO BRING:

*Something to drink (I recomend water)
*Something to eat (pack a bag lunch)
*Something to keep you warm (dress in layers and bring gloves and a hat or a toboggan)
*Something to keep you dry (a rain jacket or a disposable rain poncho, just in case)
*Something to carry your stuff (a backpack is a wonderful thing, but keep it light)
*Something to make this fun! (I recomend a smile and a good attitude)

Hiking Safety Rules: (From the Cub Scout Hiking Belt Loop Requirements)

*Always tell someone where you are going and when you will return.
*Never hike alone or at night; always use the buddy system.
*Dress properly for the weather and environment.
*Wear sun and insect protection.
*Take an extra pair of socks in case you need to change.
*Obey traffic signs and signals.
*Avoid hiking along roadways.
*Stay on the trail.
*Be alert to your surroundings.
*Don't litter as you hike.
*Be alert to dangerous animals, insects, and plants. Never touch a wild animal.
*Take 1 pint of water for each hour you will be hiking. Never drink untreated water.
