Nature Lore Hike
|
|
Preliminary: Each Patrol is required to bring a book made up of newspaper in sheets approximately 8 x 11 inches, in which to press and carry specimens of flowers and tree leaves. Each Patrol also is to have a notebook for listing of birds, and a Handbook for Boys as a reference book. Execution: On out-trip, Patrols collect and identify specimens and make bird lists. The books are given to hike leader upon arrival of the Patrols at the hike destination at a previously announced time. Various nature games are played, such as Nature "Scavenger" Hunt for about a dozen items-including for example, a piece of bark from shagbark hickory, a dried acorn, a wild rose thorn, a three-lobed sassafras leaf, etc.-these items to be found within a certain length of time. Or have a Tree Identification Game in which numbered tags are placed on several trees by the leader after which Scouts find tags and make list of the names of the trees to which they were attached. The birds they discover on hikes, the notes they take, the scrap books they prepare-all are records that leave their imprint on the growing Scout's mind. The skill learned in stalking birds is useful in many ways. Power of observation, quick wit, and keen vision are developed on such hikes. |
