Activity Badge Work

Dear All,

we have been looking at a plan to work steadily through the Cub badges over the course of their cub years. 

We have divided the activity badges into two groups. There are badges we will do together as a pack but some we will support the cubs to do as individuals.

All the Cub badges are described in the badge book which they either already have or will bring home soon.

Badge information is also available at http://scouts.org.uk/supportresources/search/?cat=12,67

The idea is that if a cub has an interest in a particular badge then they can work on this at home. Where appropriate the individuals should get a parent/carer to sign off that they have completed the stages required for the particular badge the work at home. When the work is completed the cub can then report back to the pack, describing (and perhaps demonstrating) what they did towards the badge.

A couple of cubs have already completed their home help badge.

The suggested split between individual and pack activity badges is shown below. This is just a suggestion so if anyone wants to work on any badge at home they are more than welcome but it is possible that their work will be repeated at some stage in the pack.

Road Safety Badge

Dear all,

over the last couple of weeks the cubs have completed nearly all the requirements for their road safety badge. Hopefully it will also keep them a little safer out and about.

The only thing left that they need to do to get their badge is to draw a road safety poster.

There are more details about the road safety badge at http://scouts.org.uk/supportresources/1430/road-safety-activity-badge/?cat=12,67,127&moduleID=10

When the heavens open this weekend and they are staring out of the window wondering what to do, they might wish to pull out some coloured pencils and paper and create a poster to get their badge.

There is no time limit on when to produce the poster so they might prefer to save it for the the Christmas holidays.

Have a good weekend.

Tim
