Des Plaines River Trail Hike
November 11 – Meet at 7:30 AM Mass
Troop 965 will continue working on the Hiking Merit Badge and Fort Dearborn Trails Medal with a 10-mile hike on Sunday, November 11. We will hike on the Palos Trail System near Willow Springs, Illinois. The hike will begin at the I&M Trail parking lot at Willow Springs Road north of Archer Ave and end at Teason’s Woods. Using orienteering skills, the Scouts will direct us to specific sites including; ridges formed by glaciers, the original site of BSA Camp Kiwanis, sloughs and the Swallow Cliff slides.
Each hiker must carry their own day pack, bring at least 3 liters of water to drink along the trail, and wear hiking boots. You will not be allowed to hike in gym shoes. Hikers should also bring a sack lunch, snacks for the trail, rain gear, compass, and sunscreen and a hat for sun protection (sunglasses optional).
Parents are welcome to join us on the hike. We will meet at St. Juliana Church for 7:30 Mass, depart from there after Mass, and return before 5:00 PM. The permission slip in the Resource Center.
