Hiking Merit Badge

2006-2007 Scout Year

Hiking Merit Badge

The hiking merit badge is a difficult but fun Eagle-required merit badge to earn! It requires five ten-mile hikes and one twenty-mile hike. Of course they are all flat!
   
Our first hike of the year was a 10-mile loop through South Mountain Park, including a visit to Hidden Valley and Fatman's Pass. Guess where Mr. Weite is in this picture??
Alex and Lenny think this hike is too easy!

Our next 10-mile hike is a 10-mile loop in the Superstitions around Black Mesa.

Dave's calling to order some pizzas to be delivered and waiting when we get to our lunch spot.
Nico checks the map to make sure we are still in the Superstitions
We're at our lunch spot but where are those pizzas my dad ordered?
Karl found a great climbing rock.

Time to pack up and hit the trail again, everyone! Be sure you don't leave anything behind, like a set of car keys!

We'll just rest here in the shade for a bit. Are you sure no one needs to go back and get anything they forgot at the lunch spot, like a set of car keys???
Another great hike! Now, where did I put those car keys....???
