Here's David’s advice for new hikers:
Never quit!  If you’ve never scrambled before, you will get sore but keep at it.  Try to hike something 2-3 times a week.  Pack a smile and your essentials then be ready to have a good time.  Plan for hikes to consume the entire day so you're not rushed or canceling at the last minute, it makes hiking with a group much more enjoyable.
