Cub Scout Tiger - Learn how to properly prepare for a hike in the woods, and then hit the trails! Through activities, games, and a hike we will discover what is “essential,” and how we can “leave no trace” all while exploring the wildlife—both in Black Pond Woods and in the Critter House— we are trying to protect!

Cub Scout Wolf - Join us for a hike in the woods as we learn about the wildlife that call Black Pond Woods home! On our hike we’ll identify different native insects, plants, and birds that thrive in the woods, and practice leaving no trace as we explore wildlife up close. We’ll also introduce how to read a map, and try using symbols and landmarks to help us navigate through the woods.

Cub Scout Bear - Take a hike on the Black Pond Woods trail and discover what plants and animals call this place home, while also exploring how cultivated plants thrive in Project Grow’s gardens. Scouts will get the opportunity to meet and observe one native species up close and learn about the adaptions it has that allow it to survive and thrive.

Cub Scout Ebelo - Learn the importance of observation and identification as you explore the special habitat of Black Pond Woods and take a trip out to our vernal pond. Scouts will be introduced to the method of nature journaling and the S’s of birding to practice in their own back yards.
