Traveling is one of humankind's greatest adventures. Early explorers sailed across vast oceans, floated down mighty rivers, and journeyed through high mountain country to see what they could find. You can be an explorer, too. You won't be traveling in unknown territory, but it will be new to you. You'll enjoy the thrill of discovery wherever you travel. Be curious, ask questions, read signs about points of interest, notice the sights and sounds. In earning the Traveler activity badge, you'll learn how to help plan family trips. You'll also learn how to use public transportation--buses, planes, and trains. Let's go! |
| Do Five of These: |
| 1. Get a map or timetable from a railroad, bus line, airline, subway, or light rail. The line should serve the place where you live or near where you live. Look up some places it goes. |
| 2. Use a timetable to plan a trip from your home to a city in another state by railroad, bus, airline, or ferry. |
| 3. With a parent or guardian, take a trip to a place that interests you. Go by car, bus, boat, train, or plane. |
| 4. Figure out what it costs per mile for the trip you have taken in requirement 3. |
| 5. List four nearby trips you would like to take with your parents or guardian. Lay out the trips on a highway map. Using the map, act as navigator on one of these trips. It should start at your home, be at least 25 miles long, and have six or more turns. |
| 6. Pack a suitcase for a trip. |
| 7. Check the first aid kit in the family car to see if it contains what is needed. |
| When you pass each requirement, ask your den leader or counselor to initial your Traveler scoreboard. |
