Haven't done the hike since I was a boy scout, many years ago. We did it the easy way by flying in by helicopter and then hiking back out.

Definitely an recommended trip, but I can't remember enough details to be of any assistance to you.

what kind of country club boy scouts were you in?

the hike isn't all that challenging though, but it does take a while. When we went last time, which was a number of years ago, we took 4 days. A 4 day trip was at a very leisurely pace and was very manageable for the inexperienced hikers in the group. It is a beautiful spot though. Just buy a map and plan some sort of reasonable trip, no sense in going if you have to rush.
