Do you know the Rule of Thumb to protect wildlife while exploring nature? When you see an animal, hold your hand out at arms length and stick out your thumb. If you can cover the animal completely, you are a safe distance away. If you can't, you are too close. Even in the rain today, we found some animals to practice the Rule of Thumb on.
While scouting during a pandemic can be challenging, with the right safety measures in place it can be fun. Cub Scouts wear masks, meet out doors, and do their best to practice social distancing while getting in the first hike of the new scout year.
