The 2025 Night Hike on the Hike:

Started in 2008 the Night Hike on the Dike was created to give groups an option to experience a smaller version of the well known Scout Night Hike at UBC. It was open to all groups and ages from both Scouting and Guiding programs. The 2024 version of the Hike featured 6 stations throughout the 12km stretch along the South section of the Blue Heron Rotary Loop running between Jerry Sulina Park at 13180 210th Street and the bridge at Harris Road


The 2025 version of the event will again take place on the 12km route on March 29, 2025 starting at 4:00pm. Groups will leave in 15 minute intervals with the last group leaving at 9:00pm.

Please Note
When filling out the registation form please fill in a preferred time to start. If your group includes Beavers or Sparks please ask for a start time between 4:00 and 6:00pm. For groups with minimum Cubs or Embers please select a start time between 6:00 and 8:00pm. If your group is Scouts or Guides and older only please choose a start time after 7:00pm. Registration times will be issued on a first come/first served basis

Registration deadline has been moved to February 28th, 2025 at end of the day. This had to be changed in order to ensure we have a close approximation of the numbers to order enough crests. This also gives the organizers time to order the correct amount of food and material for everyone on the hike. Thank you

Features along the Hike

- We also have have a bicycle patrol who will be patolling the route and will provide assistance if needed and communcation with the organizers on the progress of the groups
- The MedVents will also be on the route to provide any medical assistance if needed along the way

We are trying to set up a theme for this years hike to help provide some more fun. The theme will be based on Sherlock Holmes. Each station will have a clue for the group to discuss and upon completion the group will provide their answer to the mystery

Will are also looking at providing each section of each group with a Passport which will be stamped at each station as a keepsake for the section/group
