Quest Books Page
The quest book is your treasure map to adventure. Each year we publish clues for 15 to 20 trails throughout the South Shore. The book includes maps with directions to get to the trails, a set of clues for each trail, and fun facts to learn throughout the quest. We have put two quests online for you to try (these quests are not in the book, but may still be included in your patch count!) but we suggest you get all the quests by purchasing a book for $6.
