This program helps boys earn their Tiger Cub badge. “Let’s go outdoors” is also part of Cub Scouting's Leave No Trace Award. During a nature hike, scouts watch the weather and collect fallen leaves (which they later return to the Earth) to do a leaf rubbing activity. The program is 1 hour and costs $5/scout. |
Wolf Cub "Your Living World" This program helps boys earn their Wolf Cub badge. “Your living world” is also part of the Cub Scout World Conservation Award and Cub Scouting's Leave No Trace Award. During a nature hike, scouts discuss how people have shown a lack of respect for Nature, and learn why it is important to respect our environment and natural resources. Scouts name one thing they can and WILL do to help the environment, and pick up litter along the trail. The program is 1 hour and costs $5/scout.

Bear Cub “Sharing your World with Wildlife" This program helps boys earn their Bear Cub badge. During a nature hike, scouts find out how a local animal lives, and create a poster to help educate others. Scouts plant native plants that will provide food for birds, rather than build a bird feeder (which makes birds dependant on humans). They learn about habitat, and discuss animals and plants that are endangered or extinct. Name one animal that has become extinct in the last 100 years. Tell why animals become extinct. Name one animal that is on the endangered species list. The program is 1 hour and costs $5/scout. |
Cub Scout Wildlife Conservation Pin Program This program helps Tiger Cubs, Cub Scouts, and Webelos earn their Wildlife Conservation Pin. During a nature hike, scouts learn about five animals that use camouflage to protect themselves, and make a plaster cast of an animal track. After the hike, scouts make a collage of animals that are in the same class: fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, or mammals. Scouts participate in an environmental service project that helps maintain habitat for wildlife. The program is 2.5 hours and costs $8.50/scout.

Webelos Scout Naturalist Program This program helps Webelos earn their Naturalist activity badge. During a nature hike, scouts observe six wild animals and write down where and when they saw them. Scouts identify and learn about a plant or animal that is endemic (found only) in Orange County. They learn about the importance of wetlands and the Pacific Flyway, and play a migration game to find out which birds use it. Scouts learn to identify poison oak and the three species of rattlesnake native to Orange County. They perform a skit to learn about the roles of producers, consumers, and decomposers in the food chain. At the end of the hike the scouts learn how humans have changed the balance of nature, and discuss ways they can help restore the balance of nature. If possible, scouts pick up litter along the trail as they hike. The program is 2.5 hours and costs $8.50/scout.
