Who - The Hike-a-Thon is open to everyone! Scouts, Scouters, and hiking enthusiasts who aren't Scouts but who want to support a great organization. Only adults are able to participate in the fundraising piece of the Hike-a-Thon, but youth are encouraged to hike with their families. 

What - We welcome you to join us for our second annual Hike-a-Thon this Spring. The Hike-a-Thon is a great way for you to get outside and support a great cause. All proceeds from the Hike-a-Thon will support Scouting in the Narragansett Council.

3. Share your customized page with your friends and family and ask them to support your Hike-a-Thon journey

4. Go hike and log your miles! 

Hikers are encouraged to share pictures of your journey. When posting use #GetScoutside, #WickedAwesomeSummit and tag the Narragansett Council.

When - Registration is now open and will remain open until May 31st.

The results will be tallied and we'll have a celebration event on August 23rd to recognize all of our hikers as well as special prizes for those who did the most hikes, hiked the most miles, and raised the most money. 

Cost:

$25 for hikers, but the entry fee is free for Adventure Card holders. Once any hiker reaches $25 of their $200 fundraising goal, they will receive a patch and t-shirt. The $25 registration fee for non-Adventure Card holders counts towards the $200 goal. 

Think you can raise more than $200-go for it! We'll have prizes for most money raised. 

FAQ- Can Scouts participate? Yes! However, Scouts (youth members) cannot participate in the fundraising portion. They can hike for fun and still log miles. We'll have prize categories for our youth members. 

Let's Celebrate!  A recognition event will be held for our hikers at the conclusion of the hike-a-thon.
