Calendar
As a follow up to our camping trip and in preparation for an upcoming hike – we'll be working on elements of Call of the Wild and Paws on the Path requirements. We'll be reviewing the Leave No Trace principles and how we should apply them, the Cub Scout Outdoor code and what it means, the Cub Scout's 6 essential things to bring for a hike, and practicing the buddy system. As a part of putting some of these things into practice we'll be taking an evening walk around the school. So please have your son bring small light source (a small flashlight, headlamp, battery powered lantern, etc.).

- First Aid Kit – A kit should include a few adhesive bandages, some moleskin (a sticky bandage that you can put over a blister to keep it from getting worse or rubbing), and a bandage or two.
- Filled water bottle Make sure it is big enough to carry water for you to drink through your whole hike and back. And make sure it is full when you start out! It is not safe to drink water you find along the trail.
- Flashlight Check your batteries to make sure they have plenty of juice. Your flashlight will be used only in an emergency, so save the batteries for times when you really need them!
- Trail food Trail mix or a granola bar provide quick energy when you need it.
- Sun Protection Sunscreen should be SPF 30 or greater. A hat is good to have, too!
