Now there’s nothing a scout troop likes better than to be on the trail – so see if you can find a way to celebrate next Saturday… as it’s National Trails Day!
Organised by the American Hiking Society, #NationalTrailsDay is a concerted effort to improve a large number of trail miles, and to raise awareness of the benefits of our national, regional and local trails.
There are only a couple of ‘official’ events near us, but there are many many ways to share our appreciation of outdoor trails.
- Take the pledge – to leave the trail better than you found it. This is an easy one for all Scouts given our adherence to the Outdoor Code
- Join a working party to improve a trail
- Donate or buy some Trail merch
