ELECTRONICS REMINDER 📱🕹️
One of the great benefits of heading out on any of our trips is that we’re able to unplug from our digital world for a few days. Electronics are allowed while traveling to our destinations, but we have a longstanding rule that Scouts are not allowed to use electronics while on our trips (i.e. if brought they’ll be left in vehicles and not used during the trip).
ITINERARY
This is an “out-and-back” hike where we’ll hike roughly 4.1 miles starting at Barker Pounds Trailhead down along the rim of North Chickamauga Creek to Stevenson Branch Camps 1 & 2. The hike in is generally down hill with the last .5 mile or so steep down into the gorge and then to camp. The next morning, will have a steep hike out and gradual incline back to the car.
There is room for 10 people total on this trip. Registration will initially be set for 6 Scouts and 2 adults, with the last 2 slots being allocated as needed.
