Hike and Trash Pick up at Blackhawk Creek Hike and Bike Trails Monday 10/21
Good morning,
I wanted to send a reminder that we will begin our “Paws on the Path” activity on Monday evening at 6:30 PM at Blackhawk Creek Hike and Bike Trails, located at the end of Patrick Road in Whitehouse. To get there, turn onto Hagan Road from Highway 110, then take a right onto Corey Drive (the second street on the right). Follow Corey Drive to the end, make a left onto Patrick Road, and continue through the yellow gate. The pavilion will be on your right.
If you need further directions, please feel free to contact me.
The Adventure Points we will cover include:
-
Introduction to “Paws on the Path”
- Identifying the six essentials of Cub Scouts
- Understanding the buddy system and how it applies outdoors; pick a buddy for the walk
- Discussing appropriate clothing and footwear for outdoor activities; aim to wear these on your walk
- Learning about the Outdoor Code and Leave No Trace Principles for Kids
- Take a 30-minute walk as a group to explore nature, and describe four animals (domestic or wild) you observe during the walk
-
Introduction to “Council Fire”
- Participating in a service project by picking up trash during our hike; we will also discuss the importance of how this service benefits our community
I look forward to seeing everyone there!
