Spirit of the Water,
a Wolf Elective Adventure
The Wolf Den Leader Guide says, “Water, water everywhere–water to drink, water to cook our food, water to clean our bodies and our teeth, and water to play in! In this adventure, Wolf Scouts will learn how to conserve water and keep it clean in their homes and neighborhoods. Then they’ll have a chance to swim together, having fun and practicing aquatics safety.”
