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.

environmental service project that helps maintain
habitat for wildlife.

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.
