Since the early days of the Boy Scouts of America, young Scouts have been in the outdoors exploring it’s beauty and all that Mother Nature has to offer. We are very fortunate here in the heart of the Laurel Highlands to have many camps and properties right at our fingertips. Although each facility is different; each has it’s own attractions that make it unique from the others while still providing a quality program to the countless number of Scouts and Scouters who enter each weekend. Dr. E. Urner Goodman the founder of the Order of the Arrow once said “The order is a thing of the Outdoors.” With this statement in mind Wagion Lodge #6 undertook the project to produce this guide and make it available to all units across the council.

  • Backpacking: Bird Knob
    1 © 1999 Troy R. Hayes. All rights reserved. Preface As a new Scoutmaster, I wanted to take my troop on different kinds of adventure. But each trip took a tremendous amount of preparation to discover what the possibilities were, to investigate them, to pick one, and finally make the detailed arrangements. In some cases I even made a reconnaissance trip in advance in order to make sure the trip worked. The Pathfinder is an attempt to make this process easier. A vigorous outdoor program is a key element in Boy Scouting. The trips described in these pages range from those achievable by eleven year olds to those intended for fourteen and up (high adventure). And remember what the Irish say: The weather determines not whether you go, but what clothing you should wear. My Scouts have camped in ice, snow, rain, and heat. The most memorable trips were the ones with "bad" weather. That's when character building best occurs.
