As an American, I will do my best to—
BE CLEAN IN MY OUTDOOR MANNERS—I will treat the
outdoors as a heritage to be improved for our greater
enjoyment. I will keep my trash and garbage out of
America's waters, fields, woods, and roadways.
BE CAREFUL WITH FIRE—I will prevent wildfire. I will
build my fire in a safe place and be sure it is out before
I leave.
BE CONSIDERATE IN THE OUTDOORS-! will treat public
and private property with respect, i will remember that
use of the outdoors is a privilege I can lose by abuse.
BE CONSERVATION-MINDED—I will learn how to practice
good conservation of soil, waters, forests, minerals, grass-
lands, and wildlife; and I.will urae others to do the
same. I will use sportsmanlftleinetjfcds in all my outdoor
activities. i (yLS)

TE RRARIUM
Den fun during May should aim at two goals: help-
ing your Cub Scouts learn something about their home
area and its people, and making them aware of the
need for conservation practices.
Highlights of den activities will be a trip to a place
of special interest in your community—a zoo, museum,
historic site, or park—and a simple conservation proj-
ect; see suggestions on page 5.
Meet outdoors, if possible. Stress conservation and
nature achievements and electives in the Wolf and
Bear books.
Litter Bag—for the car. Use pliers to bend a coat
hanger. A size 12 paper bag is about right.
ROSEDen Travel Map—Place name pennants on map to
show places visited by the den this month.
State Symbols—Frame pictures of your state's official
tree, bird, and flower. See Our American Heritage,
Achievement 6, in the Bear Cub Scout Book. Have Cub
Scouts try to spot the state symbols on a nature hike.
Terrarium—An old fish tank makes an ideal terrarium
for keeping plants and small animals like toads. It
doesn't matter whether it leaks unless you put water
in it. A small pan of water on the bottom usually is
sufficient for most amphibians. In the plantings, try to
duplicate the natural surroundings of the pet. For
making a terrarium, see Cub Scout Water Fun.
DEN LITTERBUG WAR
Start group action against littering in your neigh-
borhood with a den clean-up project. One den clean-up
around the town library drew attention to Cub Scout-
ing, received gratitude of the librarian, made Cub
Scouts litter-conscious, and started an anti-litter cam-
paign. Your den's example may be followed by fami-
lies, neighborhood, or the whole community.
