Scouts MAYhem 2020
Each week we have been posting a new badge for you to work on at home.
Kent Scouts have launched a new Badge for May called MAYhem (see what they did there!).
We are going to leave this up for a couple of weeks for you to work on.
Send us evidence of what you have been doing to [email protected] or put it in the group Facebook page.
You can also post it on Twitter but don’t forget to tag us @14thbroadstairs and @kentscouts you can also use #Mayhem2020.
Do the first 3 below
Build a shelter/den or put up a tent – This can be anywhere indoors that is safe (and agreed with by your family members!) Or it could be outside if you have a garden that you can safely access and is secure.
Spend a night in your shelter, den or tent. You cannot sleep in a proper bed, but you can use a camp bed roll mat etc. and your pillows, duvet etc.
Tidy-up, clean-up, pack up! When you have finished with your shelter, den or tent, make sure EVERYTHING is put away clean and tidy!
Choose at least 4 of the activity ideas below to complete (though do feel free to do them all)
Teach a family member a campfire song – this doesn’t even have to be one you already know, there are loads online that you could learn so why not have a go!
Demonstrate tying a friendship knot with the ends of your necker/group scarf (search for; how to tie a friendship knot in your necker in Google or YouTube)
Build a bridge or tower using pioneering techniques. You will have to get creative when selecting your materials (think pens, pencils, skewers, cocktail sticks, sticks from the garden, blu-tack, mini marshmallows, jellybeans…)
Make a flag to represent your campsite!
Make-up a story that you can tell around the campfire (not too scary!)
Set a tracking trail either in your garden or around the house
Make your own camp supper using only three ingredients.
A form will be available for your leaders to fill in to record what everyone in your troop has done and to apply for your badge.
