“And you shall be unto Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.” (Exodus 19:6)

Make plans to attend the upcoming Ten Commandments Hike sponsored by the Southeast Louisiana Council and taking place on the Uptown streets of New Orleans. This interfaith hike has ten stops along its route at various houses of worship where one of the Ten Commandments is revealed to the hikers. The hike will begin promptly at 10:00 a.m., at the Goldie and Morris Mintz Hillel Center at Tulane recognizing the 100^th anniversary of the National Jewish Committee on Scouting. Street parking is encouraged nearby. Other stops will include representatives of the Episcopal, Catholic, Protestant and Islamic faiths.  Participants will receive a special event patch, a streetcar token and water.

PLEASE NOTE: Hikers must provide their own lunches. No hot meals will be served during the lunch break. The route for younger Cub Scout-age participants is four miles mostly along historic St. Charles and Carrollton Avenues and, once it ends, participants will board streetcars to return to the starting point. The hike is intended to foster understanding of different faiths, breed religious tolerance, and promote the 12^th Point of the Scout Law (“A Scout is Reverent.”) while also encouraging physical fitness.  The hike is open to everyone including all Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, Venturers, Scouters, parents, siblings, and friends. Registration, parental consent/health forms are required to be filled out in advance.  This is a very popular event and space is limited, so register online or send in your registration form to

The registration fee is $10.00 per person, but goes up to $12.00 after Nov. 10. Send your registration and consent/ health forms in as soon as possible. These forms MUST be received at the Council Services office prior to the hike.
