We also currently have an option for a Unit Based Self Guided Hike Program that will allow all our Scouts to hike within their own communities or to hike the Old Cutler Trail anytime during December 2020 on their OWN. We would like to give our Units the flexibility of hiking at their own schedule and location within their communities if desired due to Covid in the spirit of the Old Cutler Trail Hike. We wish to offer the ability to order the patch and medals for those that complete their Unit based self guided hike. Patches will be based on total patch orders received by December 31, 2020. 

Once your Unit Self Guided Hike is completed- please e-mail to report when and where your hike took place.

Please stay tuned for updates.
