The Cub Scout Trail LbNA #61413 (ARCHIVED)

This is a great letterboxing activity for Cub Scouts or anyone who has been involved in scouting. Have fun!

"Bobcat Trail"
You are off on your start as a Cub Scout today.
To start on your path, you must find the right way.
Start in the lot that is full of gravel.
Just over the bridge is the path you must travel.
Go to your right where you will see the start.
Just “Doing Your Best” will be doing your part.
A yellow marker will start the trail;
Just fork to the left so you do not fail.
When you reach the bench you would use to eat lunch,
Take a left and make sure you have all those in your bunch.
Now say the “Promise” from beginning to end,
Taking one step per word both you and your friends.
Now stop in your tracks and turn to your right.
Follow the trail and the Bobcat is in your sight.
Just past the evergreens at the end of the grove,
Look to your left for your treasure trove.
You’ll find it hidden near a rotted log,
That touches a tree. What a great place for a frog!

"Tiger Trail"
You’ve gotten your Bobcat and should be very proud,
Now on to your Tiger that roars very loud.
As a Tiger you learn about the town Where You Live,
So continue this path to what else it has to give.
A Tiger starts his journey with a family member,
Going over 3 bridges is what you both should remember.
Take a left at the fork is How We Will Tell It,
Over two more bridges and you may see a place to sit.
As you travel up the hill be as safe as can be,
You’ll find your Tiger by the stump of a birch tree.

"Wolf Trail"
If you find marker five with great Feats of Skill,
Head to the Northeast and head down the hill.
If you pass three markers you will be Making Good Choices,
Why not take this time to sing Cub Scout songs with your voices.
When the path ends you must make a connection,
By heading to the left you’ve already Started a Collection.
You are now on the main trail where many experience Family Fun.
This part of the trail will be exposed to some sun.
Just up ahead you’ll see quite a sight,
A forest of leaning trees should be on your right.
After passing several markers and a tree wrapped around another,
You’ll come to a bridge to cross with your Den Mother.
As a Wolf you enjoy Eating and learning to Cook,
So you will find your next box in a right stump trunk nook.

"Bear Trail"
Continue along the trail over a long bridge through wetlands,
It will give you time to think of Building a Model with your hands.
Next you should pass markers fourteen and fifteen,
Continue straight over the bridge not stopping at any point in between.
As a Bear, you learn about telling Tall Tales,
Continue down the path over a bridge with two rails.
When the decision is apparent, take the bridge to the right.
Another fork will soon be upon you so go in the direction that is not as bright.
Bears are good at Jotting It Down,
Which is the place your final box will be found.
Soon you will find the trail takes a sharp left.
At the point it turns right, find the uprooted trunk cleft.

Now your journey is complete and you’ve made some Advancements.
Be sure to let me know if I need any enhancements!
