hiking

let's go hiking
Have you ever wanted to roam all day through forest and fields?Would you like to climb a high hill and look far across the land?Do you want to explore busy city streets,dusty farm roads, and beaches along the sea?Are you always eager to see what's around the next corner and beyond the distant horizon?.
Then hiking is for you.It gives you the freedom to travel under your own power to the places you most want to go.
Hiking is also a terrific way to keep your body in top shape.Walking packs power into your legs and makes your heart and lungs healthy and strong.
Hikes can sharpen your mind,too.Exploring the outdoors challenges you with new ideas and discoveries.Your senses will improve as you use your eyes and ears to gather information along the way.
Sharing hikes with other Scouts builds friendship.When you have good times together and watch out for each other,you are deepening the bonds between yourself and other people.
Finally,hiking brings you close to the earth.As the miles roll beneath your feet,you will sense the lay of the land-hills tumbling into valleys,prairies flowing toward the mountain,and rivers bending the shapes of cities and towns.A walking pace is just right for you to see the plants and animals that are important parts of every
environment.
Earning the hiking merit badge will help you get ready for exciting outings.Journeys of 10 and 20 miles will give you experience and confidence to make hiking a sport you can enjoy today and for the rest of tour life.
The adventure of hiking is waiting for you right now.All you have to do is take the first step.
