This hunt is intended to test the boys' knowledge of nature in an exciting competition. It is run like any scavenger hunt, with each den having a list of nature objects and identifying as many as possible in a time limit set (10 to 20 minutes). The list should have 20 to 50 objects from nature that can be found within the area. They should be common enough that a Cub Scout can identify most of them.
Your list will reflect nature items that can be found in your locale. These are some suggestions:
- Anthill
- Oak Leaf
- Maple Leaf
- Dandelion
- Needle from an Evergreen
- An insect
- An animal home
- A cocoon
- A spider web
- Animal track
- Bird's nest
- Barrel cactus
