Details
We will meet at the Marin Headlands Visitor Center at 9:30am for our Flag Ceremony. Scouts who choose to becoming junior rangers can get Junior Ranger booklets from the visitor center. The hike will begin promptly at 9:45am. We will hike up to Battery Townsley where the boys can learn about some of our country's history and important lesson about Leaving No Trace. We will head down toward the beach after enjoying the spectacular ocean views. Each family can decide to stay on the beach and play in the sand or choose to visit the Nike Missile Site and/or Point Bonita Lighthouse, both of which are short drives from the beach and are open to the public at 12:30pm. The Marine Mammal Center is also close by, admission free, and educational for scouts.
Don't forget to bring a lunch, snacks and plenty of water. There are no food vendors at this location. Wear appropriate clothes since the weather may change rapidly. This hike will count as one of the qualifying events toward the National SummerTime Award. Details about other qualifying events to earn this award will be posted at a later date.
