Participation
As of May 13, about half of those signed up actually qualify for the trek. It is important that scouts planning on attending this Sierra Trek participate in the remaining troop events in order to qualify for the trek!
ASM Teng will go over the participation percentage with scouts one by one to clarify the qualification. Due to wait list, we may use participation score to determine the final members of this year’s trek!
Things to watch for
- We’ll only be carrying half of our food on the trail, picking up the other half in Tuolomne Meadows.
- We’ll be climbing the cables up Half Dome. So physical fitness and extreme caution must be observed.
- We are hiking in Bear Country, all food will be stored in bear cans.
Help Needed
We will need adults help for driving scouts to Mammoth Lake, dropping off the food at Tuolume Meadow, shuffling car to Yosemite and 9 days later cars to drive back scouts from Yosemite to Santa Barbara.
