This is a great hike idea if you are looking for something the scouts can be quite proud of  -

From Monson, Maine, the Appalachian Trail begins its journey through the fabled 100 mile Wilderness. This is the longest stretch on the AT that doesn’t cross a paved road. Many of its best highlights are packed into the first 30 miles, including the Lower Wilson falls, rock strewn rivers, and great views. Campsites are abundant and there are 4 shelters along this route.

The hike ends/starts on the gravel road to Katahdin Iron Works off ME 11, 5.5 miles north of Brownville Junction, a short distance from Gulf Hagas, a slate gorge filled with waterfalls (a day hike on its own). AMC’s Little Lyford Pond Camp is nearby. I’ll post more on this later.
