The scouts have to start somewhere, right? Today we visited the Golden Eagle Cub Scout Day Camp in Covina California within the LA area. We worked with 97 cub scouts in the four scout levels Tiger, Wolf, Bear, and Webelos. The camp prepares cub scouts by teaching a variety of skill sets and does lots of outdoor activities during week long day camps. Our awareness workshops were 40 minutes long, exploring a couple of principles while playing a few PEAK activities and an activity we call "Crypto-Crossing". Our contact Dennis Matthews is a Master Educator, and teaches and coordinates lots of Leave No Trace programs within the Covina and BSA community. Thank you so much for having us and keep up the good work!
Happy Trails from the E-Tour,
Alexis & Topher

I've taught LNT to Cub Scouts for a couple years now, and to keep that many boys interested for 40 minutes seems nothing short of a miracle.
I'm going to keep an eye out for the next time you guys do a Cub workshop in the northeast and see if I can't sit in on it. I could always use a few pointers.
