The Ten Commandments Hike is a Boy Scout event where the participating Scouts (including Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts and families)
start out at a church where they hear a short (15 min.) talk about one of the 10 Commandments.
Following that they walk to a next church where they hear a talk about another of the Commandments
and on until 10 churches and 10 Commandments are covered.

The intent is to have various denominations represented so that an understanding of the brotherhood of believers can be appreciated

Thanks to the clergy and other support people at each of these churches.
