The Six Leave No Trace Guidelines for Cub Scouts:



Watch for hazards and follow all the rules of the park or outdoor facility. Remember proper clothing, sunscreen, hats, first
aid kits, and plenty of drinking water. Use the buddy system. Make sure you carry your family's name, phone number and
address.




Stay on marked trails whenever possible. Short-cutting trails causes the soil to wear away or to be packed, which eventually
kills trees and other vegetations. Trampled wildflowers and vegetations take years to recover.




Managing your pet will keep people, dogs, livestock and wildlife from feeling threatened. Make sure your pet is on a leash
or controlled at all times. Do not let your pet approach or chase wildlife. When animals are chased or disturbed, they
change eating patterns and use more energy that may result in poor health or death. Take care of your pet's waste. Take a
small shovel or scoop and pick-up bag to pickup your pet's waste.




When visiting any outdoor areas, try to leave it the same as you find it. The less impact we each make, the longer we will
enjoy what we have. Even picking flowers denies others the opportunity to see them and reduces seeds, which means
fewer plants next year.





Expect to meet other visitors. Be courteous and make room for others. Control your speed when biking or running. Pass
with care and let others know before you pass. Avoid disturbing others by making noise or playing loud music. Respect "No
Trespassing" signs.




Make sure all trash is put in a bag or trash receptacle. Trash is unsightly and ruins everyone's outdoor experience. Your
trash can kill wildlife. Even materials such as orange peels, apple cores and food scraps take years to break down and may
attract unwanted pests that could become a problem.
