Way To Go Zachary

5/5/09

This past month in cub scouts Zachary has been working hard to receive a special award called "Leave No Trace Awareness". He had to learn about the rules of the outdoors and make a poster about it, for example manange your pets, and trash your trash. He had to go outdoors on three seperate outings and practice the rules. One of those outtings was a field trip to Wilson Ponds to observe wildlife, obey the rules, pick up trash, and take pictures. He also had to do a bunch of activities with the family in the outdoors, like have a picnic. He assembled a fanny pack full of essentials like pocket knife, water bottle, compass, trail mix, etc. He then had to take this along on his field trip.

Part of Pack Meeting this month was a wildlife photo contest. These are the pictures Zachary entered. He could only enter two, but I'm sure he took over 50, he was camera happy!! The first one is a goose in flight, the second is a goose family with their 9 little goslings!

This was his reward, a King Size chocolate bar and his Leave No Trace patch. (he can't wait to devor his Candy Bar!)

Congratulations Zachary for working hard and accomplishing your goal. We are very proud of you!
