Backyard Jungle... that's how I'd like to imagine all small children see their yard and neighborhood. It's totally a place to explore and have adventures.
This is one of the new adventures for Tiger Scouts (first grade, or seven years old) that I have seen get a lot of flack. People were up in arms over a "1-foot-hike" before they even read that a longer hike will be required in a different adventure (Tigers in the Wild). Also, a listening walk is required in this adventure.
I love the idea of not discounting what is right in front of you. Teaching children that they don't have to leave home (which can be difficult for urban scouts) to experience the wonders of nature is a good thing.
Now that I've got that off of my chest, let's look at the requirements for this adventure...
