Leave No Trace is a plan that helps people to be more concerned about their environment and to help them protect it for future generations. Leave No Trace applies in a backyard or local park (frontcountry) as much as it does in the wilderness (backcountry). We should practice Leave No Trace in our attitude and actions-wherever we go. Understanding nature strengthens our respect toward the environment. One person with thoughtless behavior or one shortcut on a trail can spoil the outdoor experience for others.

Help protect the environment by remembering that while you are there, you are a visitor. When you visit the outdoors, take special care of the area. Leave everything just as you find it.

    1. Discuss with your leader or parent/guardian the importance of the Leave No Trace frontcountry guidelines.
    2. On three separate outings, practice the frontcountry guidelines of Leave No Trace.

    5. Promise to practice the Leave No Trace frontcountry guidelines by signing the Cub Scout Leave No Trace Pledge.
    6. Draw a poster to illustrate the Leave No Trace frontcountry guidelines and display it at a pack meeting.
