TEN COMMANDMENTS HIKE
“Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord, thy
God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him.” (Deuteronomy 8:19)
NOVEMBER 26, 2021
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 St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church. Street parking is encouraged nearby to the location at Zimple and South Carrollton Ave. Other hike stops will include representatives of the Catholic, Protestant, Islamic, and Jewish faiths. Participants will receive a special event patch, streetcar token, fruits, and water.
PLEASE NOTE: MASKS REQUIRED AT ALL INDOOR LOCATIONS. Hikers must provide their own lunches. No hot meals will be served. The route for younger Cub Scout-age participants is four miles (mostly along historic St. Charles and Carrollton Avenues) and, once the hike ends, participants will board street cars to return to the starting point. The hike is intended to foster understanding of different faiths, breed religious tolerance, and promote the 12th point of the Scout Law (A Scout is Reverent) while also encouraging physical fitness. The hike is open to all Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, Venturers, Scouters, parents, siblings, and friends. This is a very popular event and space is limited. Please register online below.
The registration fee is $10.00 per person until November 16th. $12.00 per person after 11/16. There are no refunds for the event! We will go whether rain or shine!
Health forms are required for each Scout participant. Each unit is responsible for providing the health forms and having them available on the event day.
THANKS FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING EACH OF YOU ON NOVEMBER 26TH!
