Are you a new hiking or backpacking merit badge counselor? If the answer is yes, then this is the course for you. Students will learn how to start a hiking and backpacking program with special emphasis on planning, logistics, and how hikes/treks should build toward a goal while keeping Scouts engaged, building muscle, increasing endurance, and learning team work and leadership. This class is not how to hike or backpack, but how to start, plan, and execute a hiking and backpacking program. Real world examples of hikes and what leaders should consider when planning hikes and treks. Best recommended for youth 16+.
