Fort Aiken and the Foothills Trail Trip, 23-25 October

Scouts!

Join the troop for an incredible fall camping experience in the South Carolina mountains...yes, we have a few small ones...The Frog, Snake and Lightning patrols will be working on their wilderness survival merit badges at Fort Aiken, while our older scouts (aka Venture) will be spending two adventure packed days and nights on the Foothill's Trail.

Our Fort Aiken scouts will be doing some hiking at Table Rock State Park (see image above), besides their wilderness survival training program.

The Venture patrol will camp the first night at Laurel Fork Falls (see image at right, click here for more images) and on Saturday night in Eastatoe Gorge. Sunday morning will see us hiking to the top of Sassafras Mountain (image below from SC's Highest) and then return to Fort Aiken. Hiking totals will be around 25.5 miles for the weekend.

Sign up begins next meeting and look for the information and permission forms soon...
