Troop 4 s istoric ike ampouts
In April, Troop 334 completed their fifth Historic Hike ampout. This year the Troop, chartered with hestnut Hill hurch in Lower Milford Township, traveled to alley orge National Historical Park. Previous years brought them to Harper’s erry National Historical Park, Antietam National Battlefield, and twice to Gettysburg National Military Park. According to Troop 334’s Historic Hike organizer, Phil Moreira, ur spring Historic Hike is one of our most popular trips of the year because it combines camping, hiking, American history, monuments, battlefields, re-enactors, and of course fun.
Each of these National Parks has a designated BSA hiking trail varying in length from 10-15 miles. or example, the Gettysburg trail includes a Billy ank 10 mile trail, plus a ohnny Reb 4 mile trail. There is also an accompanying booklet with information about places along each hike for the boys to learn. The Troop was lucky enough to encounter April 2011 Gettysburg National Military Park battlefield re-enactors along the trail on each of their trips. Upon May 2014 Gettysburg National Military Park again completion of all the re uirements, each boy received a medal or patch.
The Troop camped at nearby campgrounds for the Gettysburg and alley orge trips. They were able to camp directly on the Antietam National Battlefield’s site for the Antietam and Harper’s erry trips.
Some of Troop 334’s highlights from the Historic Hike ampouts include hiking 1200 vertical feet for a stunning view of Harper’s erry and the Potomac and Shenandoah Rivers, having lunch on April 2012 Antietam National Battlefield the rocks at evil’s en in Gettysburg, and running across the field towards the High ater Mark at the end of the Billy ank hike to imagine what Pickett’s charge might have been like.

Why Powder Horn? Many Scouting leaders face one dilemma. A strong desire to provide fun and challenging outdoor programs, but lack the knowledge and/or resources to do so. Powder Horn responds with an exciting training opportunity that introduces Venturing and Boy Scout leaders to a wide range of outdoor/high adventure activities. More importantly, Powder Horn provides its participants with valuable resources and contacts, to assist them in delivering the promise of Scouting’s high adventure to youth. JUNE 2016 South Mountain District Newsletter -10-
Powder Horn is… A training opportunity designed to introduce participants to activities and resources necessary to operate a successful Venturing Ranger Award or Troop High Adventure program in several ways:
Help participants to safely conduct outdoor activities of a fun and challenging nature Provide an introduction to the resources necessary to successfully lead Venturers and older Boy Scouts through a program of high adventure Familiarizes the participants with the Ranger program so that he or she can help Venturers meet the requirements of the Ranger Award This course is based on the Venturing Ranger requirements giving participants an introduction to outdoor/high adventure activities
Powder Horn is not a personal development or team-building experience. Its purpose is to educate adult Scouting leaders about specific high adventure skills, to connect them to resources to deliver those skills, and to get them excited about delivering those skills in an exciting, challenging way to youth. Powder Horn … Courses include Ranger Core Requirements, at least ten electives, plus additional program development information. It is intended to help participants get started finding and using the resources needed to lead high adventure programs. Topics we plan to cover Backpacking, Land Navigation, Cave Exploring, Cooking, Life Saver, Outdoor Living History, Shotgun, Rappelling, Cope, Physical Fitness, Plants & Wildlife, Leave No Trace, Emergency Preparedness, Scuba, Pistol, Equestrian, Kayak, Expedition Planning, Fishing, First Aid, Fly Fishing, Working with Teens
Under NO CIRCUMSTANCES is any Powder Horn participant required to participate in an activity they are uncomfortable with. They may choose just to observe and learn.
Recognition: Upon successful completion of the Powder Horn course participants are awarded a certificate of completion and the Powder Horn Device, which is worn hanging from the left pocket of the uniform.
