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 are going to play I spy.   
  5. Explain how to play “I Spy.” A person is chosen to go first.  They spot something that everyone should be able to see, and they say, “I spy something (natural or manmade).”  Each person in the den gets a chance to ask a question about the object that can only be answered with a yes or no then they get one chance to guess what it is.  Keep going until the object is guessed. The Cub Scout who guessed correctly gets to spy next.  
  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 man-made.
