If you're a Hoo-hah Scout Troop/Appleseed- type guy, here's an opportunity for your lads to combine Heritage & Hiking:
The Minuteman Pursuit Historic Trail next April 19th - a 20 Miler from Concord to Boston
{it's downhill all the way (overall) & they stop for lunch at Menotomy Grill for a good burger. Waaay easier for your Hiking MB 20 miler than twice over Mt Wachusett on the midstate trail! }
Here's a good writeup: http://www.scoutspirit.org/tag/miniteman-pursuit-trail/
Happy Scouting!
Arto
p.s. If you'd rather a shorter distance, and poetry & prose instead of powder & shot, you can do the Thoreau L-N-T Trail (~11 miles)
here's a photo from it the other day: https://www.facebook.com/ThoreauBir...050041277077/1776624525686279/?type=3&theater
