On Saturday, August 27^th 

For those not familiar with these, each scout will be tasked with finding a 1 square foot area to examine with their eyes and/or magnifying glass (if they bring one), and try to find some of the things that often go unnoticed when we walk through nature.

We’ll spend 5-7 minutes examining a section, mapping what we saw, and writing down as many different things we can find.

We’ll then spend a little time listening to nature and trying to determine what the different sounds are we hear.

What to bring:

• A Magnifying glass (one you’re willing to let your scout use).
• A pen or pencil to write with.
• A magazine/notebook/clipboard to write on.
• A scout t-shirt or uniform.

These kind of activities can take 30-45 minutes, depending on how interested the scouts are.

When we’re done, feel free to stop by the playground on the north end of the park.

This can be a fun activity to invite a friend to as well. I hope to see you there.
