Mission Peak Prayer Hike gives us a unique opportunity to visit different houses of worship & gain a greater knowledge of other religions in our community. It is for all the Scouts (Girls in the all BSA-Scout Program, Cub Scout, Boy Scout, Venturing, Explorer, and Learning for Life Scouts), Scout families, and Scout Leaders. This is the perfect opportunity to “compliment your unit’s commitment “To serve God” & “Duty to God”.

Class A Uniform for all the scouts. Scout family members who are not registered with scouting can wear Casual/ but decent clothes. No shorts or skirts. Bring your unit flag. Some of the worship places require a head covering. Please bring a scarf or handkerchief to cover the head. Bring plenty of water and snacks.

“Houses of worship” places are not within hiking distance. You need a car to go around or arrange for carpooling.

We will be having a “Very Special Lunch & Indian Tea” at Sikh Temple.
