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 help achieve your unit’s commitment “To Serve God” & “Duty to God”.

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.
