2 CONCEPT This weekend s adventure bases the Troop s activities out of Washington Monument State Park in Middletown, Maryland, which is located along the Appalachian Trail (AT) passing through the site. Located atop South Mountain, Washington Monument State Park is named for the first completed monument dedicated to the memory of George Washington. The Washington Monument is a rugged stone tower that was initially erected by the citizens of Boonsboro in Most of the Washington Monument s hiking trail is part of the Appalachian National Scenic Trail. Visitors are able to hike the Appalachian Trail (AT), which is the longest hiking-only footpath in the world spanning from Georgia to Maine. This will be a great opportunity for Scouts interested in making progress in Rank Advancement requirements and continue to the other requirements for the Camping, Hiking, and Backpacking Merit Badges. This is an excellent opportunity to gain and hone skills for Scouts and Scouters interested in going to high-adventure places like Philmont Scout Ranch, NM. After a great day on the Appalachian Trail (AT), we will enjoy the victory with AT Trail Magic, which is as an unexpected act of kindness and a quintessential part of the Appalachian Trail experience for many longdistance hikers! If time allows, we will be stopping at an Ice Cream parlor along the AT in Harper s Ferry, WV.
