Scouter MomAn orienteering scavenger hunt is a fun way for Scouts to learn compass skills. They follow clues, work together, and build confidence while exploring the outdoors. It’s simple to set up and full of adventure. 🧭🌲😊
The Webelos Walkabout adventure combines planning and hiking 🌲 Scouts pack the Six Essentials, review safety rules, and map their route before heading out on a two-mile walk.
They also practice first aid and Leave No Trace principles. After the hike, Scouts reflect on what went well and what they would change next time. It is a great way to build confidence and outdoor skills ⚜️
