Cub Scouts Outdoor Activity Award

Cub Scout Outdoor Activity Award

Ok, so this is an award your cub scout can earn each year.

The 1st time they earn it, it will be a pocket flap award. This needs to be worn on the right side pocket. And from what I have read, every year after that, when earned, it will be a wolf track pin.

Now, how do you earn this?

Here is a link that shows what each cub scout rank has to do to earn it. 

I have a Tiger, so that's what I will be talking about.

So, 1st, the tiger scout MUST finish his BackYard Jungle adventure.  It says he should do this at a camp. Then he has to do 4 of the following outdoor activities.

Here is the list from the scouting website:

Outdoor Activities

These activities must be in addition to any similar activities counted for rank advancement, and can be accomplished as a family, den, or pack.

• Participate in a nature hike in your local area. This can be on an organized, marked trail or just a hike to observe nature in your area.
• Participate in an outdoor activity such as a picnic or park fun day.
• Explain the buddy system and tell what to do if lost. Explain the importance of cooperation.
• Attend a pack overnighter. Be responsible by being prepared for the event.
• Complete an outdoor service project in your community.
• Complete a nature/conservation project in your area. This project should involve improving, beautifying, or supporting natural habitats. Discuss how this project helped you to respect nature.
• Earn the Summertime Pack Award.
• Participate in a nature observation activity. Describe or illustrate and display your observations at a den or pack meeting.
• Participate in an outdoor aquatics activity. This can be an organized swim meet or just a den, pack, or family swim.
• Participate in an outdoor campfire program. Perform in a skit, sing a song, or take part in a ceremony.
• Participate in an outdoor sporting event.
• Participate in an outdoor interfaith or other worship service.
• Explore a local city, county, state, or national park. Discuss with your den how a good citizen obeys the park rules.
• Invent an outside game and play it outside with friends for 30 minutes.

Easy, right? 

Lastly, let your den leader know you are finished with it. I just let our Den leader know about this 2 days ago. She will be contacting our pack leader's wife, who will then, hopefully, let us know if another step must be taken. If there is, I'll post it here.

Good luck and have fun doing this!
