The hiking requirements for hiking merit badge are 4 10-mile hikes and one 20-mile hike. Yesterday morning 11 members and 4 leaders from Boy Scout Troop 32 set out from the 34th St. Acme for a little stroll down Ocean Drive.
2 Scouts accomplished one of their 10-mile segments and 9 completed the full 20 Miles. They averaged 3 miles per hour. Some sore feet and a few blisters won’t keep them from a reward on the new Zip line and ropes course at the Cape May County Zoo today.
If you’re wondering what it takes to walk 20 miles. Come on out to a Troop meeting any Tuesday night at 7:00 at the Presbyterian Church on the corner of 7th and Central to hear about our other fun and challenging adventures.
