What use is Scouting? - here's how, another example of the life skills we share making a difference

First Aid Staged Activity Badge - Level 1

A six-year-old girl from Farnborough saved her mum’s life only a day after learning first aid skills at her Beavers meeting.

Sophie Shute had only been awarded her first aid badge at 14th Aldershot Beavers the evening before her mum, Andrea Shute, 37, fainted and was unable to move or speak.

Cubs Visit Goldthorpe Library

Last week the cubs paid a visit to the local library in Goldthorpe as part of their Book Reader Activity Badge They had a great time as they learnt about the difference between Fiction and Non-Fiction. They discovered where to look in the library for a dictionary and how to use a thesaurus. They found out how the library catalogues their books so that you can find them easily and how you should care for your books so that they last a lifetime. The next stage in this badge is for the cubs to read 6 books. They should be able to name the authors and be able to tell the other cubs about the books they have read. Thanks very much to the staff at the library for showing our cubs the ropes!

Here's a list of the 50 things that you could do before you reach 11 3/4; 50 things to do before you're 11 3/4 https://www.50things.org.uk/ We think this is a great idea, and we reckon that you could do most, if not all of these as a Goldthorpe Scout, how many can we fit in this year?
