Backpacking is a core adventure in Troop 24’s program, with at least two trips each year. Generally in the fall we offer a beginner-friendly overnight trip, covering less than 10 miles total; perfect for Scouts new to backpacking. Over Memorial Day weekend, we take on a more advanced trip, where Scouts may hike upwards of 10 miles a day and spend two nights in the backcountry. 

These trips require planning, physical readiness, and teamwork, offering a great mix of challenge and outdoor fun. Each outing helps Scouts build confidence, outdoor skills, and lasting memories on the trail.
