Leave No Trace Cub Scout   Leave No Trace Cub Scout Award   Scout Award

This Award is meant for Cub Scouts.
Leave No Trace is a plan that helps people to be more concerned about their environment and to help them protect it for future generations. Leave No Trace applies in a backyard or local park (frontcountry) as much as it does in the wilderness (backcountry).

We should practice Leave No Trace in our attitude and actions wherever we go. Understanding nature strengthens our respect toward the environment.

When boys and leaders complete the requirements they may purchase a Cub Scout Leave No Trace temporary patch (No. 08797). Both the publication and patch are available through local councils. The patch should be displayed centered on the right pocket of the uniform.

My son's Tiger den is going to start working towards completing our "Leave No Trace" award and I was wondering if anyone had examples of service projects that other Tiger dens have participated in.

Mike - pick up garbage at school, church, beach, campsites, park, ...
Plant trees or remove invasive plants.  Gather wild prairie grass seed.  Remove weeds from trails.
Contact a local nature center, park and rec dept., USFS, US Fish & Wildlife, DNR, or other nature organization to see what help they need.
Picking up trash is probably the most common thing done for conservation/LNT projects.

Mike, a little late but may help. We were lucky to have a triathlon at the same county park as our pack camping weekend. We volunteered at some of the hydration stations to pick up the used cups after the racers discarded the along the course. The tigers loved seeing and cheering on the athletes as well. After that we made a hike into the forest and picked up trash on the trails. There was not much out there, which was nice to see.
