The Gahuti Trail (Cherokee for ‘mother mountain’) explores the beautiful backcountry of Fort Mountain State Park, looping just over eight miles to catch incredible long-range views from several towering overlooks. The trail also visits a beautiful, multi-tier waterfall at Goldmine Branch Creek. It makes for a great overnight backpacking adventure, along this moderately challenging loop.

Scouts - this is a great opportunity to serve our community, have fun and earn some service hours!! (Please note that many of our regular Troop-organized service opportunities may not occur in light of COVID-19. So if you are looking for service hours we encourage you to take advantage of whatever opportunities become available.)

Location: Norcross High School (note location change)

Event Details: Volunteer scouts are needed to help set out cones and to mark the race. The race itself starts at 8:30 AM but you will need to arrive no later than 7:30 AM. Once you have helped with set-up and marking the course, you can then assist with directing the runners and cheering them on.

Service Hours Opportunity - Tomorrow (Saturday 1/23/2021) Supporting Pack

Scouts/Parents... We were given little notice on this, so apologies for the less than 24 hours notice. If any Scouts are available, need service hours, or just want to help support our local CubScout Pack 575 tomorrow please let myself or Mr. Donaldson know asap. As the note shares below from the CubMaster, we'd be supporting the AOL scouts as they cook and possibly provide a class or two of our own. I also posted a note in the Scouts GroupMe.
