Backpacking is the combination of two outdoor adventures
that every Scout loves; hiking and camping!
Troop 17 engages in multiple backpacking trips a year throughout Arizona,
providing Scouts with access to the backcountry in ways they otherwise cannot.
Be it a 5-mile or 15-mile backpacking trip, each provides an unique experience and
adventure for the Scouts. Scouts who are
truly up for adventure can even go on a trek at Philmont Scout Ranch, where they spend over
a week hiking between 80-100 miles enjoying the vast wilderness in Northern New
Mexico.
Troop 17 focuses on teaching Scouts lightweight backpacking
techniques, providing them with the skills and resources to enjoy the back country
safely. Scouts will learn
from the older, more experienced, Scouts the skills they need to enjoy each trip.
