Night Hike
This is a great activity to do around the Winter Solstice, when it gets dark early. You can also do this as an all-section meeting, since the activity is appropriate for a wide variety of ages. You can start your hike at 5 pm and be done by 6:30 or so.
- Discuss Night Hiking and what you're going to be doing.
- Using your headlamps/flashlights as little as possible to let your eyes adjust
- Using your other senses: hearing, touch, smell
- How is the forest different at night from how it is during the day?
Items Needed:
- Remind scouts to bring headlamps or flashlights
