During our up-coming preparations, we will be sampling freeze-dried meals, reviewing cold weather hiking & first aid, checking boot sizes (in order to place an order with EMS for the rental of snow shoes prior to our trip), and a variety of topics to make our trip a really nice experience.

Practice Hikes (Jan 6th & Jan 27th)
Scouts and adults participating in the Mt. Cardigan Expedition will meet at the Church at 8 a.m. for our hike with full back packs-be sure to review your list as we will be looking through our back packs after the hike.
On the agenda: review our equipment, pick our hiking route for the morning, fill our water bottles and head off. We will plan to be back at the Church around 1-1:30 p.m. Everyone will be asked to bring a suitably delicious snack and lunch with them.
