"There are only two things wrong with hiking with the Scouts -
they start out too fast, and they keep it up all day!"

Bill Dixon

A week long backpacking trip present it's own challenges. Included in this section are resources for the hike leader.

Hikemaster's Handbook - A compilation of notes on how to plan and execute a successful long-term. This handbook is also available in pdf form.

Reservations - A starting point for when and where to apply for Wilderness Permits.

Shower facilities - A list of public showers that have been used by the troop. Both the east and west sides of the Sierra's are included.

Banquet facilities - A list of restaurants that have been used by the troop. Both the east and west sides of the Sierra's are included.

In addition, there are two resources in the Weekend Hikemaster's section that are of interest to the hike leader.

Iodine - A handy iodine purification table.

Graces - The small compilation of prayers and graces that seem quite appropriate when living in the outdoors.
