Planning it in DenBuddy starts a new den meeting with this activity already on the agenda,
so you can add an opening, a closing and whatever else the night needs.
How to run it
Walk 30 minutes (covers the Lion/Tiger 20-minute versions too). At each stop scouts draw or name
what they found. Name one domesticated and one wild animal before heading back.
Safety. Buddy system. Two-deep leadership. Check the route for hazards first.
