The most important thing to remember is that wild animals are&#8230; wild! Some may look cute and friendly but they are not pets.<\/p>\n<p>Generally, any animals you see will not attack or bite\u00a0if you leave it\u00a0alone. It is possible that a sick animal may behave aggressively so always keep plenty of distance from any wild animal. If you see baby animals, assume that there is a protective mother nearby and do not try to\u00a0pet them.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing a wild an animal is exciting. Bring binoculars so you can observe them from a safe distance. Remember that when you are in the woods, you are a guest in the animals&#8217; home. Be respectful. Don&#8217;t try to sneak up on them. In fact, it is best to make plenty of noise so you don&#8217;t\u00a0startle a wild animal.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzfeed.com\/peggy\/absolutely-essential-diagrams-you-need-for-camping?sub=2320819_1276702\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-1767 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/makingfriends.com\/girl-scout-leader\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/be-ready-when-you-meet-a-wild-animal.jpg\" alt=\"What to do when you see a wild animal.\" width=\"201\" height=\"250\" \/><\/a>Generally, woodland animals do not want human contact. They do, however, probably want your food! It&#8217;s best to avoid\u00a0foods and beverages with strong odors. Dry foods are both lighter and less smelly. Even scented deodorants and lotions can attract some animals and insects. If you are camping, never keep any kind of food or beverage in your tent. Food should be securely stored away from the campsite &#8212; in your car if possible. Never, ever feed wild animals.<\/p>\n<p>Foxes, raccoons, and skunks will eat just about any\u00a0food scraps. While they probably don&#8217;t want to socialize with you, they are brave enough to wander through your campsite looking for a tasty meal. Unless threatened or sick, these animals will not hurt you but they sure can make a mess of your garbage and eat all of your food. Trying to scare them away may not work if they are hungry. You can try shining a bright light at them.<\/p>\n<p>Many woodland animals are nocturnal but you may also see them during the day. A nursing mother may be out during the get to get some extra calories. A sick or hungry animal may also be out during the day, so remember to always keep your distance and respect all wild animals.<\/p>\n<div class='dropshadowboxes-container ' style='width:100%;'>\r\n                            <div class='dropshadowboxes-drop-shadow dropshadowboxes-rounded-corners dropshadowboxes-inside-and-outside-shadow dropshadowboxes-lifted-both dropshadowboxes-effect-default' style=' border: 1px solid #dddddd; height:; background-color:#ffffff;    '>\r\n                            <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/makingfriends.com\/girl-scout-leader\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Terri-Bose.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/makingfriends.com\/girl-scout-leader\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/Terri-Bose.jpg\" alt=\"Terri Bose\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>About Terri Bose<\/strong><br \/>\nAs a Girl Scout in the 70s, I was thrilled to be a Brownie. I remember all the fun we had at meetings. I absolutely loved to earn try-its\u00a0and get patches. Unfortunately, Junior Girl Scouts was a different story. My leader never had anything fun planned. I earned dozens of badges on my own but don&#8217;t remember earning any with my troop. Needless to say, I never bridged to Cadettes. Later on, When I became a leader for my daughter&#8217;s troop, I realized just how much time and effort it took to be an engaging leader. I began sharing ideas on my website <a title=\"MakingFriends.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.makingfriends.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">makingfriends.com<\/a>\u00a0and then went on to develop the <a title=\"Badge in a Bag\" href=\"https:\/\/badgeinabag.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Badge in a Bag\u00ae<\/a>\u00a0 line. I would like to thank all the leaders who have given me ideas and input throughout the years and plan to continue to share as much as possible.\r\n                            <\/div>\r\n                        <\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are going\u00a0camping or hiking with your Girl Scout troop, it&#8217;s important to know what to do if you encounter a wild animal.
