We invite all pack members and interested guests to attend our fall hike! We will be hiking at the the Hacklebarney State Park. Hiking trails in the northern portions of the 465-acre natural area offer breathtaking views of the Black River, which lies deep within a shaded hemlock ravine. Rinehart and Trout Brooks empty into the Black river and several small waterfalls can be seen from the high trails. The diversity of upland and wetland habitats provides excellent birdwatching opportunities.

Directions:
Rt 206 to 513 W. Just past Cooper Mill make a left onto State Park Road. (There are signs) Continue for about 2 miles and make a right onto Hacklebarney Road. Park entrance on the left. Small parking lot with a monument just as you enter, turn left within that lot and follow the park road to a larger lot.

Scouts that are working towards their hiking requirement should bring a backpack with the Cub Scout Six Essentials for Hiking.

First Aid Kit – A kit should include a few adhesive bandages, some moleskin (a sticky bandage that you can put over a blister to keep it from getting worse or rubbing), and a bandage or two.
Filled water bottle Make sure it is big enough to carry water for you to drink through your whole hike and back. And make sure it is full when you start out! It is not safe to drink water you find along the trail.
Flashlight Check your batteries to make sure they have plenty of juice. Your flashlight will be used only in an emergency, so save the batteries for times when you really need them!
Trail food Trail mix or a granola bar provide quick energy when you need it.
Sun Protection Sunscreen should be SPF 30 or greater. A hat is good to have, too!
Whistle It's only for emergencies, but a whistle will last longer than your voice.

We are looking forward to welcoming some new families and visitors that are interested in finding out more about Pack 142 to our pack meeting!
You are welcome to invite any friends and families with boys that are Cub Scout age (grades K-5). Please be sure to RSVP to let us know you are coming and how many guests to expect.

If one or more friends of your Cub Scout join our pack, your Cub Scout and all new friends that they recruit will receive a “My Best Friend is a Scout” patch. Your Cub Scout will also be presented with a “Recruiter” patch.
