Digging in the Past

Digging in the Past, a Wolf Elective Adventure

The Wolf Cub Scout handbook says, “Dinosaurs and other giant creatures lived and died out millions of years ago, so thankfully you won’t run into one on a walk. A scientist who studies dinosaurs is called a paleontologist (pa-le-on-to-lo-gist). They study dinosaur bones and fossils to learn more about their habits, the food they ate, and their size. During this Adventure, you will match dinosaurs to their names, and you’ll use your imagination to create your own dinosaur.“
