Cub Scouting in the Outdoors: Everybody knows that most of “scouting” is “outing”!  Your pack and den programs should include many activities to discover and explore our natural world and our American heritage.  We will discuss why the outdoor program is critical to scouting, and how an outdoor camp provides the ideal setting in which to learn the moral principles of the Cub Scout Promise and Law of the Pack.  We will also cover the various types of exciting outdoor adventures that should be available to your scouts: camping, campfires, day hikes, historic landmarks and trails, exploration of nature and the night sky, even outdoor service projects.  Pack and den meetings should outside as well as inside!
