Advancement
This will count as a Science & Technology Hit the Trail. Woodlands Trailmen that participate in the Simple Tools & Machines Scavenger Hunt can receive a credit for that step as well.
While younger Navigators will enjoy this trip, none of the included experiences align with any Trail Badges, and the overnight experience will not count as a camping night.
