Hikes

SFBAC Trail Trekkers Program : The Trail Trekker Hikes are a series of 8 hikes in the Bay Area that are appropriate for Cub Scouts. The hikes introduce a variety of environmental and geological elements to the Scouts while they explore the diverse Bay Area. A series of 9 patches represent completion of the hikes. A large colorful square patch is earned by completing the first hike. Each subsequent hike earns the applicable small segment patch for that hike. These patches are frequently displayed with the large patch in the center and two segment patches along each of its four sides.

MDSC Highlander Program : Mt. Diablo Silverado Council's Highlander program encourages youth in Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and Venturing to experience the outdoor wonders that exist within our Council. The program is a series of 14 progressive hikes with a center patch awarded with the first hike and a rocker for each hike. Many of the hikes are specific trails, but some may be awarded for any hikes done within the park. Most of the hikes can be done by youth of any age.

Rim Rovers Program : The purpose of the RIM ROVERS-RIM OF THE BAY patch program is to encourage hiking and to bring into the lives of our Scouts a “mountain top” experience. There are six Mountains that surround the Golden Gate Area Council that you can hike up. When you finish the first mountain you get a patch and a “rocker” with the name of the mountain. Rockers are awarded for each additional hike completed. For Webelos and Arrow of Light Scouts, these activities can be used for Webelos Walkabout, Arrow of Light Outdoor Adventurer, Arrow of Light Scouting Adventure, and the Elective Adventures Into the Wild and Into the Woods. These hikes are not approved for Cub Scout use.
