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.
  4. If the walk is away from your regular meeting location:
    1. Gather copies of the Scouting America Annual Health and Medical Record on each participant (youth and adult)
    2. Review Annual Health and Medical Records for any restrictions that may impact participation

During the meeting:

  1. If the walk is away from your regular meeting location bring copies of the Scouting America Annual Health and Medical Record on each participant (youth and adult)
  2. Check to see if everyone has their Cub Scout Six Essentials.
  3. Tell everyone the route that will be followed for the walk.
  4. Share any hazards that may be on the path and how to avoid them.
  5. Distribute a pencil and sheet of paper to each adult partner.
  6. Inform the den that during the walk Cub Scouts should name as many things as they see to their adult partner and identify it as natural or manmade. The adult partner then writes down the item on the sheet of paper and puts an N next to it if it is natural or an M if it is manmade.
  7. Adult partners and Cub Scouts explore the outdoor space identifying the things they see as natural or manmade.
  8. 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.
