Today marked another fun District Hike. This one was at Anderson Point Park (sound familiar, Scouts?). Originally planned to be a 9.2 mile hike, Mother Nature's 92 degrees and 90% humidity concluded our tagging along (or should I say wagging along) dogs preferred the shorter, less than 1.5 mile hike culminating with doggy paddling in the Neuse River!
These hikes run throughout the scout year, and have been planned to give a scout the opportunity to reach 100 miles in hiking to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the BSA.
Many of the same hikers return each month, and I find it a time of fellowship and fun. I enjoy not just getting the scouts (or my dog, who is the brunt of some fat dog jokes!) out in nature, and we have had some spectacular hikes, but I also enjoy the conversations I have with my peers from other units across the Neuse River District. If you've missed these hikes, don't worry, our District Commissioner has next year all lined up!
We are getting ready to enter the summer months, and our pack will slow down a little...but just a little. Look forward to Mudcats games, Scout Day Camp, Webelos and Cub Resident Camps, Quad-Pack event, and so much more!! True, we won't have weekly den meetings and monthly pack meetings, but we'll get plenty of chances to be together!
BUT, there's still a few weeks before graduation....but then, SUMMER!
