The four (4) trails provide ample opportunities for scouts camping at Schiff to satisfy most of the advancement hiking requirements, with a minimum of trail duplication. All the trails start at a "Hiking Stump" which has been installed near the "Camp Wauwepex" sign on the road to Hickox Dining Hall. The trails are designated and marked: Red, White, Blue and Yellow. In some sections more than one of these trails share the same route and will be marked with all the trail colors in areas or the trail shared by more than one.
