Spring Back Packing, Two Lakes Trail, Hoosier National Forest

The Spring Backpacking trip will be April 17-19 at Two Lakes Trail of Hoosier National Forest, Indiana. We will camp together as a troop but we will have 2 separate distances.  The older scouts / anyone going on high adventure this summer will be doing the outer loop.  Any of the younger scouts / anyone not going on the high adventure will do the inner loop.  This will be lower mileage to allow our first-time backpackers to join us.  If you have any interest in backpacking this is the perfect one to start.  For any scout that is going on the trip you must bring your backpack loaded with the appropriate gear to the troop meeting on April 14th so we can ensure you do not have too much or too little gear.  Refer to the spring/fall backpacking packing list under the info section of the website.

Anyone that needs to borrow a backpack please let me know asap.  If you are borrowing a backpack bring all of your gear to the April 14th meeting and we can load it up when you get the loaner backpack. 

All backpackers need to bring their own trail lunch for Saturday, one cold breakfast and any snacks/energy bars for throughout the trip. The Troop will provide one hot dinner and one hot breakfast.  The cost is $20.
