Overview: The Cub Scout Trail is a short trail that connects the Bedford Trail (post #22) with the Deer Knoll and Hiltebeitel Trails (post #20). It also crosses the Harrison Trail (post #28). It is a key trail in some of the shorter child-friendly loops (~ 1 mile) you can make in Devil's Den.
When hiking several trails on a single "hike", log it with a generic name that describes the hike. Then link the trails traveled, check out the example.

Dress for the current and unexpected weather changes. Take plenty of water. Never go alone. Make an itinerary with your plan(s), route(s), destination(s) and expected return time.
