Fall Backpacking Trip

The Fall backpacking trip was held on the weekend of October 12 in the George Washington National Forest. The troop hiked the Signal Knob trail, which required Scouts to scramble over large, automobile sized boulders while carrying their packs. The older scouts took a longer trail in preparation for Philmont, while several first year scouts hiked their first backpacking. All Scouts were rewarded with sweeping views of the Shenandoah Valley.
