Conservation Foundation “Take a Hike” Challenge

The Conservation Foundation “Take a Hike” Challenge – Registration is now open! The program runs from September 1 through October 27, 2026. All hikes you do either with Scouts or on your own during the time period for the program count for this challenge! This is the easiest challenge ever!!! Hike anywhere for any distance and record it on your Tracker for the week. Hike six times during the 8 weeks, and you earn the hiking reward! First timers get a walking stick. Everyone gets a hiking medallion or a pin.

See https://theconservationfoundation.org/take-a-hike/ for information and links to online registration (required) and to the Tracker hiking log form. The hiking log form is posted in the Resource Center of the Troop website. Each participant needs to have their own 2026 Hiking Tracker hiking log form. This is what is needed to be filled in and submitted in order to get your hiking rewards!

It’s best to register right away. You should get a confirmation email letting you know that you registered successfully. You also will be getting weekly emails about the program. If you do not get these, register again or call Knoch Knolls Nature Center and ask what to do. Registration closes September 30.
