October 30 - Go See It: Hike in E.P. Tom Sawyer Park

Dear Tiger Cub Parents,

Mindy M. (Nicholas' mom) has planned our next Go See It for Sunday, October 30th, at 12:30 PM at E.P. Tom Sawyer Park.  We will be going on a hike in the Park! 
 
Directions to E.P. Tom Sawyer Park: Take Freys Hill Rd. Go to main entrance parking.  We will meet at the picnic shelter/playground.  Bring a sack lunch and plenty of water. We will eat lunch first and go over hiking safety.  We will leave for the hike around 1:00 or 1:15.  This is a BEAUTIFUL hike! The hike takes about an hour to walk.  We will also stop a few times to observe nature and collect leaves to make leaf rubbings at our next den meeting. We should be back to the parking lot no later than 3:00 PM.  This is a very easy hike.  There are few hills, and our biggest obstacle is roots to step over.  There are also a lot of squishy mud areas as well, so please don't wear your good shoes!

I don't think we need to take water with us, if we hydrate well before we go.  You are more than welcome to bring it if you wish.  Every scout needs an adult partner and siblings are welcome if you feel they are old enough to handle the hike.

This activity will fulfill Achievement 5G, along with the Hiking belt loop.
