Webelos Walkabout
Complete Requirements 1-4 and at least one other.
Plan a hike or outdoor activity.
Assemble a first aid kit suitable for your hike or activity.
Recite the Outdoor Code and the Leave No Trace Principles for Kids from memory. Talk about how you can demonstrate them on your Webelos adventures.
With your Webelos den or with a family member, hike 3 miles. Before your hike, plan and prepare a nutritious lunch or snack. Enjoy it on your hike, and clean up afterward.
Describe and identify from photos any poisonous plants and dangerous animals and insects you might encounter on your hike or activity.
Perform one of the following leadership roles during your hike: trail leader, first aid leader, or lunch or snack leader.
During our week long stay we were visited by two forest service rangers who, as we fed them dinner, enlightened us on how people who visit the area do not follow the leave no trace principles.
On your next walk around the block, or when you take an “in-town” hike with your scouts, make sure to bring along a few trash bags.
