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. |

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. |

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.
Scouts learn about endangered as well as about a few animals
that have become extinct in the last 100 years.
The program is 2 hours and costs $7.50/scout.

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.

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. If possible, scouts pick up litter
along the trail as they hike.
The program is 2.5 hours and costs $8.50/scout.
