Golden Empire Council's — Hiking and Patches Page
The
Golden Empire Council located in Sacramento, CA has a page devoted to
Hiking and Patches. Many of the activities on this web page might
not be
considered "local" but the Monterey Historic Trail comes pretty
close.
There are also some interesting ideas like Disaster Conservation Award, Leave No Trace Hike and a Night Hike Award that might be interesting to establish locally. Just an idea.

Rim of the Bay Progressive Hike Award -"Rim Rovers"
The purpose of the RIM OF THE BAY patch program is to encourage hiking
and to bring into the lives of our Scouts a "mountain top" experience.
There are six Mountains that surround our area that you hike up. When you
finish the first mountain you get a patch and a "rocker" with
the name of the mountain. Rockers are awarded for each additional hike
completed. All of these trips can be accomplished in a single day. There
are camping sites at or near most if your plans include an overnight camp
experience. For Boy Scouts,this activity can contribute to the Tenderfoot
Rank, the Backpacking, Camping, and Hiking Merit Badges; and Forester,
Geologist, Outdoorsman, and Traveler for Webelos. These hikes are not approved
for Cub Scout use.
