This evening, we concentrated on finishing off badge work required by some of our older cubs in order to complete important challenge badges for them.
This consisted of a 6'er leading a game that the whole pack was involved together with a talk about how hard children of cubs age have to work in certain countries just to buy food to survive.
As part of this section, the cubs (in their sixes) were given a little amount of paper to make paper bags, which they then traded for currency to then purchase more paper to make even more paper bags to sell. Whilst fun and challenging it soon dawned on the cubs that not only was this highly repetitive and boring work, but it didn't really provide much food for them.This consisted of a 6'er leading a game that the whole pack was involved together with a talk about how hard children of cubs age have to work in certain countries just to buy food to survive.
For our younger members... the work that we have done this evening all counts towards obtaining badges in the future.
