Fall Pack Hike (RESCHEDULED: Nov 1)
Updated: Sep 28
There's no better way to experience Cub Scouting than getting outside together! Join Pack 136 for our annual Fall Pack Hike as we explore the trails, enjoy the crisp autumn weather, and spend an afternoon with fellow Scout families.
This hike is designed for Scouts of every age and ability. We'll divide into groups by rank so younger Scouts can enjoy an age-appropriate adventure while older Scouts tackle a longer trail. Along the way, Scouts will build confidence, practice outdoor skills, and experience one of the core principles of Scouting—developing an appreciation for the outdoors.
Whether this is your first Pack event or you've been hiking with us for years, we hope you'll join us!
2026 Event Details
Date: Sunday, November 1, 2026
Time: 2:00 PM
Location: Deep Well Trailhead - Warner Parks
Our Pack Hike will begin with everyone gathering at the Deep Well Trailhead before splitting into two groups based on rank. The trails are unpaved and include hills, so this is a true hike (not just a walk!) but both routes are designed to be manageable for their age groups.
Hike Routes
Lions, Tigers & Wolves: Approximately 1 mile with about 200 feet of elevation gain. Plan for roughly one hour of hiking.
Bears, Webelos I & Arrow of Light: Approximately 3 miles with about 580 feet of elevation gain. This route is rated Moderate and will likely take around two hours. Scouts will enjoy some great views along the way and learn a little about the history of the park.
What to Wear
Wear your Pack T-shirt and comfortable walking or hiking shoes. Sandals and Crocs are not recommended.
What to Bring
Each Scout should carry a small bag with the Cub Scout 6 Essentials of Hiking:
Sun protection
Water
Snack
Small first-aid kit
Whistle
Flashlight
For the first-aid kit, a few Band-Aids and antibiotic ointment are plenty. Bug spray is also a good idea, and please make sure your Scout brings plenty of water.
How to Get There
The hike begins at the Deep Well Trailhead. Because the trailhead does not have a standard street address, the easiest option is to search “Deep Well Trailhead” in Apple Maps or Google Maps. Both should direct you to the correct location.
From Brentwood
Head west on Old Hickory Boulevard, then:
Turn right on Highway 100
Continue approximately 1.5 miles
Turn right at the small sign marked “Deep Well Entrance”
