The Sam Houston Area Council is hosting the  Annual Ten Commandments Hike in conjunction with Scout Sunday. This year we will host two separate hikes.

• The North Hike (Kingwood area) will start at Strawbridge United Methodist Church located at 5629 Kingwood Dr., Kingwood 77345
• The Downtown Hike will start at Christ Church Catheral located at 1117 Texas Avenue, Houston 77002

 Check in will begin at 8:30 am and the program will start at 9:00 am

Participants will enjoy viewing these historic and newer places of worship and hearing a brief presentation at each stop of the history of the building, the distinctive nature of their religious belief and a brief explanation of one of Ten Commandments. The hike includes an event patch for each participant. All Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts, parents, adult leaders, siblings, Girl Scouts, church youth groups, Sunday School Classes, confirmation classes, or other interested youth and their parents, and friends are welcome!

What to bring:

• Comfortable shoes (this is a walking event)
• Scouts should wear their complete uniform
• Clothing appropriate for weather (e.g., jacket, umbrella, rain gear)
• Water bottle
• Sack lunch (labeled with name)
• Snacks
• Water
• Personal first aid items
• Day pack or back pack to carry personal items

Each participant is required to provide their own sack lunch. A shuttle service to deliver the lunches to the noon stop will be available at check-in so please consider appropriate packaging or container and identification for the lunches. The event is a "rain-or-shine event."
