Write a plan for a backpacking trek of at least five days using at least three different campsites and covering at least 30 miles. Your plan must include a description of and route to the trek area, a schedule (including a daily schedule), a list of food and equipment needs, a safety and emergency plan, and a budget.

You may choose the July trip for this requirement or create your own trip. This plan must include maps, food list, packing lists, weather reports, driving directions, budget, schedule, etc.

Using Leave No Trace principles, take the trek you have planned and, while on the trek, complete at least one service project approved by your merit badge counselor.

This requirement will be completed together as a group. No written work required.

Keep a daily journal during the trek that includes a day-by-day description of your activities, including notes about what worked well and thoughts about improvements that could be made for the next trek.

This information will be added to the back of the binder you create for Requirement 11a. It should be complete with photos and a complete day by day account of your trek.
