Pack 807 Hike-a-thon

Scouts can pay their own way! Join Pack 807 for our Hike-a-thon fundraiser at Big Bluestem Trail in Frisco Grand Park. 50% of every dollar raised goes toward your Scout's 2026-27 Pack dues, up to $200, and the other 50% helps cover Pack 807 supplies and events.

This event is rain or shine. See the Hike-a-thon flyer for the pledge sheet and fundraiser handout.

What Is It?

• This is a pledge-based fundraising hike. Scouts collect either per-mile pledges or flat donations, then hike laps on the trail.
• The trail is 1 mile each way, and Scouts may hike up to 8 miles or for up to 3 hours.
• The goal is $400 per Scout. Example: 20 donors x $5 per mile x 4 miles = $400.

How Donations Work

• Before the hike, Scouts ask family, friends, and neighbors to pledge either a per-mile amount or a flat amount.
• Please collect money up front based on your Scout's goal miles so there is no need to circle back after the hike.
• Families can pay the Pack through Venmo using the QR code in the flyer or bring cash/check to the May 12 Pack Party.

Trail Details

• There will be 3 stamp stations: A at the 1/2-mile point, B at the 1-mile turnaround, and C at the start/finish.
• Each lap is recorded as A-B-A-C for 4 total stamps.
• Stations will have water, ice, and first aid available.
• Lion and Tiger Scouts must have a parent hiking alongside them.
• Wolves and older should hike with a buddy.
• Parents are welcome anywhere along the course.
• Please plan to arrive a little early so your Scout can get checked in and start hiking on time.

Prizes

• Every hiker earns an ice cream sundae bar at the May Pack Party.
• Scouts who hit $400 earn the right to turn Cubmaster Matt into a human ice cream sundae.
• Miles count toward the 15-mile Explorers Club hiking stick.

Can’t Make May 3?

Scouts who cannot attend on May 3 can still complete their hike on their own before May 12 with parent verification.
