[Lone Star District] Re: 50 Miler 2024

Just a note ... this does not qualify for the BSA 50-miler Award. The group must cover a trail (or a canoe or boat route) of not less than 50 consecutive miles and take a minimum of five consecutive days to complete the trip — all without the aid of motors. During the trip, each participant must spend at least 10 hours working on a conservation project such as trail maintenance.

Troop 3 has been doing it for the last 7 years, I won't lie the first evening of the 50 miler is rough, but we've had a number of Scouts complete it at least 4 years in a row. Attached is the 2024 schedule and an article from the 50th Anniversary. Also here is a video assembled from one years set of hikes.https://drive.google.com/file/d/16XeH19oEceuqdbmvWA3VjKCPBEo9jKncbA/v… _______________________________________________ Lone Star District mailing list -- lonestar(a)lists.lonestar-lhc.org To unsubscribe send an email to lonestar-leave(a)lists.lonestar-lhc.org
