Wolf Requirement- Paws on the Path

Paws on the Path with BSA modifications

My son did all the requirements from the handbook BUT 

BSA has issued a 2017 modification to the Wolf Scout handbook

to make it easier. So to make life easier on your scout, thats what I will post.

Paws on the Path

 Complete requirements 1–5. Requirements 6 and 7 are optional.

( In the handbook you have to do 8 requirements vs these 6, even though #2 combines req 2 and 3 together))

 Requirement 1. Show you are prepared to hike safely in any outdoor setting by putting together the Cub Scout Six Essentials to take along on your hike.

(Req 1 in handbook)

(I wrote a whole post on this that you can view here. )

 2. Tell what the buddy system is and why we always use it in Cub Scouting. Describe what you should do if you get separated from your group while hiking. 

( Req 2 and 3 from book)

3. Choose the appropriate clothing to wear on your hike based on the expected weather. 

( Req 4 from book)

4. Before hiking, recite the Outdoor Code and the Leave No Trace Principles for Kids with your leader. (This may be combined with requirement 3 of the Call of the Wild adventure.) After hiking, discuss how you showed respect for wildlife.

(Req 5 from book)

 5. Go on a 1-mile hike with your den or family. Find two interesting things that you’ve never seen before and discuss with your den or family.

( Req 6 in handbook)

Now after you did 1-5, choose one more from below to do.

 6. Name two birds, two insects, and/or two other animals that live in your area. Explain how you identified them.

( Req 7 in book)

 7. Draw a map of an area near where you live using common map symbols. Show which direction is north on your map.

( Req 8 in book)
