What we've done in the past is have a few of our instructors go over their flight experience and explain how t hey got to where they are. After that\, they'll typically split the group up and take some students to a plane and show them around and go over a fe w things. The other group would be in the simulator. After about 45 minute s\, the two groups will swap. When we've done this in the past\, we can us ually accommodate the group for 2.5-3 hours\, depending on how many questi ons there are in the group.High Flight Academy comments: Does the simulato r cause motion sickness and should participants prepare with dramamine or other motion sickness remedies? It can\, but if there's any concerns\, we can turn the motion off.

It's the first\, most scenic\, and h illiest 8 miles of the Laurel Highlands Hiking Trail\, which is home to th e Laurel Highlands Ultra. The route is an out-and-back. It starts and end s with one hand on the metal gate at the end of Garrett St. in Ohiopyle.

From there\, you follow the fire road to mile marker 0 for the trail\, then follow yellow blazes to mile marker 8 before turning around and heading back how you came. The trail is very well blazed and easy to follow\, with concrete obelisk marke rs engraved with the number of each mile. The mile markers are not extreme ly accurately placed -- for example\, note that this route goes from a lit tle before marker 0 to marker 8 and is well less than 16 miles.It is very important to ceremonially loop around the back of mile marker 8 for good l uck on your return trip to Ohiopyle.

Rather than having all campers complete this duri ng their week in camp\, the Buckeye Council offers three different weekend s where troops can come to Seven Ranges and do their Good Turn in advance! These conservation and service projects are vital to maintaining the quali ty of camp facilities\, preserving the natural environment\, and ensuring a great experience for future Scouts. Regular upkeep helps prevent larger maintenance issues\, protects the local ecosystem\, and enhances program a reas for continued use.

This tradition fosters a sense of responsibility and pride in Seven Ranges\, reinforcing the Scouting principle of leaving a place bett er than they found it.Example Service ProjectsRetire FlagsAkela Brush Clea nup: Clear areas designated by the Ranger of shrubs\, small trees\, and ta ll grassTrail CleanupClear the zigzag trail from Magic Mountain to Ecology Lodge to allow two adults to walk side by sideRemove trash\, sticks\, sto nes\, and branches from the trail\, and identify wet areas for mulchBuildi ng Platforms: Build 91” X 108” wooden platforms for tents under the su pervision of a maintenance adviserSplit FirewoodBluebird House Maintenance : Clean out\, repair\, and replace bluebird houses.Chapel CleanupSweep the Chapel floor and top of knee-high walls.Trim shrubs on both sides of wall s and weed around shrubs and walls.Field Sports Cleanup: Cleaning up the r ifle\, shotgun and archery ranges.MenuWe will be cooking by patrol for bre akfast and dinner on Saturday. Saturday lunch provided by Seven Ranges.We will be planning healthy meals using “My Plate” in the Scout Handbook Scouts should not bring additional snacks unless approved by the Scoutmast er.RSVP InstructionsRSVP by  4/14/2026  even if you do not plan on atte nding.Add an RSVP note if you:Can drive to or from this eventAre a Star Sc out looking for Conservation Service HoursWHAT TO PACKRecommended packing list for Tent Camping.
