Eaton Canyon Hike and Trash Pickup -- Cub Scout Service and Learning Day

Cub Scout Pack 4 of Pasadena Guided Hike at Eaton Canyon on Sunday, February 27.  

Friends and family joined the Scouts and enjoyed sunshine and fun.  We learned about the rain cycles of the area, and the flora and fauna, too. We also did trash pickup at the end of the hike.  The kids were of service and had a lot of fun doing it!

The Scouts packed their backpacks with the Cub Scout Six Essentials, items they should carry in their personal gear when going on hikes or campouts:

1. First-aid kit: adhesive bandages, moleskin, gauze, antibiotic ointment, etc.
2. Water bottle: filled and large enough to last until it can be filled again
3. Flashlight: for emergency use only
4. Trail food: can be made as a den activity prior to hike or campout
5. Sun protection: sunscreen of SPF 30 or greater and a hat
6. Whistle: also for emergency use only

They also received a local wildlife/plant list provided by our guide.
