Brownie choices:
Trail Running Basics: Girls will go on a three different trail runs. On each run, they will try to increase the time they are running compared to walking. They should aim to be on a trail for 20 minutes each time.
Roamer: The girls will go on three different types of hikes. They can pick three from this list, or girls can come up with their own ideas:
- Night hike: Watch the stars, hear the sounds of the night, explore night creatures.
- Owl hike: Go on an owl prowl using flashlights.
- Woods hike: Hike in a forest or woodsy area.
- Beach hike: Hike on a trail along the ocean or on the sand.
- Heritage hike: Hike to a historic site in your town and learn about its history.
- Urban hike: Hike around the city or your community.
- Snow hike: Hike in snow.
- Rain hike: Hike after it rains. How does it change the hike?
- Senses hike: Hike with a buddy with one person blindfolded while the other leads. What do you see, hear, and smell?
Junior Choices:
Trail Running: Girls will train to run on a trail for a distance that challenges them. They'll aim for one mile at a comfortable pace and challenge themselves to go farther than a mile, if they can.
Day Hiker: Girls will train for and participate in three separate hikes. They'll decide what types of hikes they want to do. It could be a hike to reach a special viewpoint at a national park, a night hike, or a slow hike up trails so they can explore nature. They'll aim for each hike to be at least 3 hours, covering 3-4 miles.
