Scouts BSA Sky Trail Adventure Challenge Description
Beginning at Osage Hills State Park, run 2.3 miles to Scout Camp McClintock, gear up and ascend the 24-foot climbing tower, zipline across Sand Creek, mostly run (slowing down to cross the suspension bridge!) another 0.5 miles to then kayak (kayaks provided!) 0.75 miles of the creek (out and back), and return on the trail to Osage Hills State Park (2.6-mile run from the creek).
Sky Trail
Our name was inspired by, and with help from, the Osage Nation whose history is in this land. A unique portion of this journey takes you above the trees to beautiful views, leading to the selection of the Osage word meaning both sky and upper world.

Safety is always our top priority. Please be patient with our certified volunteers and staff who are ensuring your safety with proper equipment at the climbing tower and kayaks. This race will be for any adult (18 and over). We’re keeping our entry numbers low so everyone can have an enjoyable experience, and we will stagger the start times as we know donning safety equipment takes time. As we have no proper climbing equipment for our furrier friends, dogs will not be allowed to participate in this event.
Packet pickup will begin at 7am at the Bike Trails entrance in Osage Hills State Park on the morning of the event; the first group will start at 8 am.
Entry includes a long-sleeve, moisture-wicking technical shirt. Our finisher “medals” are Ugly Mugz BSA Camp mugs. An adult Scout volunteer will be onsite with our branding irons, so you can choose a Scout-related design to brand on the mug! Since this is a small group, we will have commemorative awards for the first place competitor in each gender category.
Available for purchase from our vendor friends:
Scissortail Brewery will have kegs of craft beer to fill your newly earned camp mug!
