Unit Backpacking Training

Description

UNIT BACKPACK TRAINING for Scouts (This training is NOT for Cub Scouts or Packs) is a weekend training program designed for youth so they can learn basic backpacking and trail camping under their own adult leadership. Unit equipment and backpacks are provided by the Council. This program is especially applicable to those units with little or no experience or equipment. The MSR "T" Patch will be awarded to all participants, youth and adult, who successfully complete this training.

This weekend Backpack Training starts at 8:00 Saturday morning. Backpacks, lighweight mountain cook kits, propane fuel stoves and tube tents are issued at this time. A six-mile loop trail is backpack-hiked, ending at a trail camp in MSR. High Sierra Trek-experienced instructors from the H.A.T. provide guidance, instruction and help along the trail and in camp.
