Trail Talk – Season 1, Episode 11: Clues in the Dark
Some of Scouting’s most powerful moments don’t happen in daylight — they happen in silence, under stars, and one careful step at a time.
In this reflective episode, Mr. Mielke shares personal stories from childhood night hikes in Indiana to staff adventures at Camp Tamarack and meaningful treks with Troop 888 at Little Sioux Scout Ranch. Along the way, we explore how darkness sharpens our senses, quiets our minds, and creates space for the deeper lessons of Scouting to settle in.
Hear about glow-in-the-dark beads, whispered warnings of “step… step… step,” and how the absence of light can reveal the clearest clues.
Whether you’re preparing for your first night hike or remembering your fiftieth, this episode invites you to trust the trail and discover what the dark has to teach.
