Hiking
Hiking is a terrific way to keep your body and mind in top shape, both now and for a lifetime.
Service Description
DATES: Feb 15th Online Class Length: 1 day for 2hrs BEFORE SIGNING UP, READ EVERYTHING BELOW! **We will have more sessions in March to be posted on Feb 16th.** Requirement Information - Scouts will complete Requirements 1, 2, and 3 during the session. - Scouts will complete Requirements 4 and 5 after the session. Scouts will not earn the merit badge immediately after the online Zoom session. Following the session, you will need to complete additional requirements to earn the badge. Previous Hikes can't be used (unless approved by another Merit Badge Counselor.) During the Zoom session, we will explain how to submit proof of completing your hikes. This includes: - Using our online classroom to submit the hike plans. - Uploading photos taken during the hikes. - Sharing a screenshot of each hike's route and length using the free AllTrails app. - Provide a letter/email from a designee (scoutmaster, assistant scoutmaster, or parent/guardian) who was with you on the hike. Note: Hikes must not be done alone and can't be done before the Zoom session (unless approved by another Merit Badge Counselor.) Additional Information: - AllTrails App: Scouts must use the free version of the AllTrails app to track their hikes. - Approval Required: Before registering, Scouts must discuss participation with their unit leader to obtain approval. - Blue Card: Scouts have three months to complete and submit the remaining requirements in the online classroom. After all requirements are marked as complete, a digital blue card signed by our merit badge counselor will be issued.

**Merit Badge Session Policies** To ensure compliance with updated guidelines and maintain the interactive and engaging nature of our merit badge sessions, the following policies will be implemented: 1. Camera-On Policy **Camera Requirement**: - All Scouts must have their cameras on during the entire merit badge session. **No Exceptions**: - If a Scout does not have their camera on or does not have access to a functioning camera, they will not be allowed to participate in the session. **Rescheduling and Fees**: - Parents/guardians will be responsible for rebooking and paying for a new session if their Scout is unable to comply with the camera-on requirement. **Purpose**: - This policy is designed to ensure Scouts actively participate in discussions and meet the interactive standards required for merit badge completion. 2. Rescheduling and Cancellation Policy **Rescheduling or Cancelling a Session**: - To reschedule or cancel a scheduled merit badge session, you must do so at least *4 days in advance* using the app provided at this link: [http://wix.to/38CABtM?ref=cl](http://wix.to/38CABtM?ref=cl). **Late Cancellations**: - Cancellations or rescheduling requests made less than 4 days before the session will not be accommodated, and you will be responsible for rebooking and paying for a new session.
