National Trails Day

The CIEC Outdoor Ethics Committee and Cahuilla Lodge Order of the Arrow together are again promoting the 2016 American Hiking Society’s National Trails Day.

June 4, 2016 is American Hiking Society’s National Trails Day, the country’s largest celebration of trails. National Trails Day events will take place in every state across the country and will include hikes, biking and horseback rides, paddling trips, birdwatching, geocaching, gear demonstrations, stewardship projects and more. America’s 200,000 miles of trails allow us access to the natural world for recreation, education, exploration, solitude, inspiration, and much more. Trails give us a means to support good physical and mental health; they provide us with a chance to breathe fresh air, get our hearts pumping, and escape from our stresses.

If your unit has a conflict with the first Saturday in June, plan your National Trails Day® event for a day or weekend that works best for you.

For more information or question about CIEC Scouting activities for National Trails Day please contact:

Troop 148 Channel Islands National Park Campout

Troop 148 from Temecula had a great trip to Santa Cruz Island first weekend of Spring Break in March. 26 Scouts and Adult Leaders left Ventura Harbor Saturday morning for 2 nights on beautiful Santa Cruz Island. We were lucky enough to spot a pod of dolphins on the boat trip out to the island. We hiked the mile to our very nice group campsites. We had a great time hiking all the wonderful trails. A park naturalist took us on a guided hike and everybody learned about the colorful history, wildlife, and plant life of the island. The hike to Cavern Point and Smugglers Cove were some of the highlights. We spotted Island Foxes and many birds, including one of the island's bald eagles. A great trip with lots of memories made.
