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)
