Monterey Sailing & Historic Hike
Agenda
August 16-17, 2003
What: Sailing, Monterey Historic Hike and Family Camping
We’ll sail Monterey Bay for two hours and then return to camp to prepare dinner and a campfire. On Sunday, we’ll head back down to Monterey to hike the Monterey Historic Trail.
Campsite: Veteran’s Park in Monterey
There will be lots of space for family camping. We ask families to pitch their tents separately from the scouts and let them prepare their own meals. Other than that, you’re all welcome to eat with them and participate on the hike and campfire. Siblings that are scouts (brownies, girl scouts and cub scouts) are also welcome to participate in earning the patch. To earn the patch, you have to hike the trail and fill out a questionnaire (like a knowledge scavenger hunt!)
