On September 21, 2024 scouts from Killingworth Boy Scout Troop 18 continued their goal to hike all fifty miles of the Appalachian Trail in Connecticut and hiked the last fourteen mile stretch. 

The scouts completed the first thirty-six miles in Connecticut over the previous two years. They started this most recent climb in Falls Village and hiked twelve miles to the Brassie Brook campsite in Salisbury where they camped overnight.

The following morning the scouts hiked to the summit of Bear Mountain, which is the highest peak in Connecticut at 2,316 feet.

The scouts then hiked to the Connecticut-Massachusetts border, completing all fifty miles in Connecticut. The scouts plan to continue hiking the Appalachian Trail next spring."
