What are the Cub Scout Six Essentials?
What are the Cub Scout Six Essentials?
These are items every Cub Scout should carry in their personal gear when going on hikes or campouts:
First-aid kit: adhesive bandages, moleskin, gauze, antibiotic ointment, etc.
Water bottle: filled and large enough to last until it can be filled again
Flashlight: for emergency use only
Trail food: can be made as a den activity prior to hike or campout
Sun protection: sunscreen of SPF 30 or greater and a hat
Whistle: also for emergency use only
A big part of Cub Scouts involves introducing boys and girls to the fun and adventure of spending time outdoors. And if you’re going to spend time outdoors, you’re going to want the right gear.
The Cub Scout Six Essentials, learned as part of the Wolf Rank, is a list of a half-dozen items every Cub Scout should carry when going on hikes or campouts.
Cub Scout leaders explain the Six Essentials as part of the Wolf required adventure “Call of the Wild.”
Later, when a Cub Scout enters Scouts BSA, he or she will learn about the Scout Basic Essentials, unofficially known as the Ten Essentials.
Whether he or she is a Wolf packing six must-have items or a Tenderfoot packing 10, the purpose is the same: ensuring young people have the tools they need before heading out the door.
