Saturday, October 9th, 2010 at Maryville

This “10 Commandment Hike” is a symbolic event to help enrich our scouts in understanding the importance of reverence, Honor to God, and respect for the beliefs of others.

Our Ten Commandment Hike will be about two- three miles long and will visit several churches.  At each stop, a member of the clergy or their representative will give a brief introduction to their church and speak on one or two of the commandments.

Our Maryville Hike will begin at the Gazebo at the UMC Church at First and Main in Maryville. All streets along the route have sidewalks and crossing guards will be used at all street crossings.  Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts, parents and leaders as well as any other interested groups will meet at 9:30 a.m. for registration and organization for the Hike. The hike is 2.6 miles in length, and we will be stopping at the First Presbyterian Church, First Baptist Church, Laura Street Baptist Church, First Christian Church, and finishing back at the First United Methodist Church

This hike is a “rain or shine” event.  All participants should bring water, a sack lunch and rain gear and coats or jackets as necessary.  This event can be used to complete or partially complete requirements including Cub Wolf: #10a, 11b, 11c, Cub Bear #10a, 12b, d, e, and #18f, g, Webelos #8 c partial for Arrow of Light.

Each participating unit is to fill out a registration form (reverse side).  Additional registration forms are available at the Council Service Center, and at District Roundtables.

Each will receive a “10 Commandment Hike” patch following the event.
