Leaf It To Cubs

Cub Scouts hopefully will learn about the wonders of nature's gift to us, a tree! Now would be a good time to identify poison oak, poison ivy and various trees by their shape and leaf design. Try leaf rubbing, leaf prints, making a leaf collage, preserving leaves with wax paper or making a leaf collection from fallen leaves. Make a leaf boat and race it down a stream or river. Participate in a tree planting or your local Arbor Day activities. Either adopt a tree or plant one and watch it grow. Help the child research how trees are used to help us in our daily lives. Field trips can be to a lumberyard, nature center, forest preserve or local park. Earn the Collecting belt loop and pin.
