Every year for approved Star Scouts and above, Troop 17 plans a multi-day trek up the slopes of Mt. Cardigan (in snowshoes, no less). To get ready for the hike, all scouts and leaders have to show their stuff on the treacherous practice hikes - complete with a backpack full of gear. This year, it was back to the Blue Hills, where we did a 5.5 loop on the yellow and red trails, which most closely simulate the Mt. Cardigan terrain. We fought off rocks, slops, and a 35+lb backpack to finish with flying colors.
