Details: For our troop's tenth annual five-mile hike, we'll be heading back to the Ice Age Trail. The annual hike usually attracts a lot of dads, so any of you are welcome to come along, too! It's also a good event to invite a friend to -- the hike is a great introduction to Boy Scouting, since it's more fun than a Monday night meeting, but doesn't require the commitment and packing of a weekend camping trip. On the way to the trail we may get a special treat of a quick stop to see new beehives in action; Stu Kruase's property is right on the way.

Every hiker should try to wear hiking boots with good ankle support, and two pairs of socks to diminish the chance of blisters (preferably an inner layer of polypropolene, and wool socks on the outside). Everyone should also bring a raincoat or poncho in case it rains, and a hat and sunscreen in case it gets sunny. And, of course, plenty of water! (You should always carry at least two quarts/liters while in the woods.) You can probably fit all this in a small school backpack, but if you have a large backpack, this would be a good chance to check it out on the trail if you want.

The boys will be building a campfire for lunch, and we may also bring a couple backpacking stoves to get practice using those. (You can bring whatever you want to eat, but consider challenging yourself to cook something.)

Retain the above information and return the form below when you show up for the hike.
