This activity is usually based around a Saturday day-hike of about 2-5 miles long through the town center. This event somewhat resembles a parade, so bring your troop colors. The highlight of the event is to stop at several churches of various denominations. At each stop the pastor of that church gives the youth an explanation about one of more of the Biblical Ten Commandments, and then a brief overview/history of his religion. | This activity is usually based around a Saturday day-hike of about 2-5 miles long through the town center.
