The 2026 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 2025 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 2026 version of the event will again take place on the 12km route on March 28, 2026 starting at 4:00pm. Groups will leave in 15 minute intervals with the last group leaving at 9:00pm. Please NoteWhen 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, 2026 at end of the day. This has to be done 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
