This outdoor walk can be done in any environment, it may be in an urban, suburban, or rural area.  It may be a local park or neighborhood.  It may be outside of your normal meeting location.  

Before the meeting: 

  1. Identify the area where you are going to take the walk.  Ensure that the area is safe and identify any hazards to avoid.   
  2. If the location is not your normal meeting place, give the address and directions to the families in your den. 
  3. Remind Cub Scouts and adult partners to bring their Cub Scout Six Essentials with them and to wear appropriate footwear.  

During the meeting: 

  1. Check to see if everyone has their Cub Scout Six Essentials. 
  2. Tell everyone the route that will be followed for the walk. 
  3. Share any hazards that may be on the path and how to avoid them. 
  4. During your walk, have the den stop and find a safe place to lay down on their back looking straight up ask them if they see anything man-made and anything natural and what it is they see.  Then have them roll over on their belly and look down and ask the same thing.  Then have them sit up and look in one direction and ask them what they see that is natural then ask them what they see that is man-made. 
  5. During the walk try to find two or three spots along the way that will provide different types of views when they stop. 
  6. When the walk is over, have Cub Scouts draw in the Lion handbook on page 10 one thing they saw that one natural and one thing that was manmade.
