Cubs in the Wild with Rivers & Birds

Inline Image

Thanks to the kind generosity of a loving, local donor, Taos Cub Scouts just enjoyed three days in the wild with Rivers & Birds. Besides daily hikes in the wilderness and pocket knife practice, the boys explored the Rio Grande and a local acequia with lots of splashing.

Santa Fe Raptor Center gave an educational presentation with a live Red-tailed Hawk, American Kestrel, Screech Owl and Sawhet Owl.

On Friday, the cubs went to
Bandelier National Monument and
the boys helped National Park
Service biologists band and release
wild birds.

With this intimate birding experience
at Bandelier, the Las Conchas fire's
impact on the plants and animals
underscores the importance of 'Leave
No Trace' for these Cub Scouts in a
profound and sad way.

July will bring yet two more environmental
outdoor camps for the Taos Cub Scouts.
