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. Inform the den that during the walk you will play a game of I Spy. The den leader will start by finding and object and say “I spy something” followed by either natural or manmade followed by a one-word description. For example: “I spy something manmade that is black.” It could be a black car that is parked nearby. Cub Scouts guess what the object is. If no one can guess correctly another one-word clue is given until the object is identified. Whoever guesses the object now gets the turn to pick an object and have the den guess what it is.
  5. Be clear with the Cub Scouts that the object needs to be visible to everyone.
  6. When the walk is over ask Cub Scouts to draw, in the Tiger handbook on page 17, one thing they saw that one natural and one thing that was manmade.
