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 3.5 miles down along the Caney Fork River to camp. After setting up camp we’ll explore the area, including hiking up to Virgin Falls. The hike in is mostly downhill, which means ... the hike out is mostly uphill!
There is room for 16 people total on this trip. Registration will initially be set for 10 Scouts and 4 adults, with the last 2 slots being allocated as needed.
