Rotherham Scouts Scouting offers challenge and adventure to 400,000 young people and 100,000 adults across the UK.

We do some pretty amazing things in Scouting, but for us, adventure is a way of life and not just an activity or expedition. Our Scouts grow in confidence by trying out new skills and stretching themselves. Whether it’s an Explorer trying out his French on an international trip or a Scout leading his Patrol for the first time, each time we challenge ourselves, it’s a step forward. When a Scout stands up to a bully, or sticks up for what they believe in; that’s an adventure.

⚜️ District Cub Badge Day ⚜️

On Saturday, 110 Cubs from across the District travelled to Hesley Wood to get back to basics and take part in our fantastic District Badge Day! 🏕️

It was a brilliant day of brushing up on existing knowledge, learning new skills, getting stuck in and, most importantly, having fun! 🙌

Every young person completed enough activities to earn 3 badges for their uniform:

🗺️🧭 Navigation Stage 2
🔥🥘 Backwards Cooking
🧶🪢 Pioneering

Throughout the day, our Cubs had the opportunity to get hands-on with a whole range of traditional Scouting skills, including:

⚜️ Cooking on open fires
⚜️ Knotting & pioneering
⚜️ Map & compass
⚜️ Tracking
⚜️ Fire lighting
⚜️ Preparing wood for the fires
⚜️ Carving a tent peg

A huge well done to every Cub who attended! 👏 You all worked incredibly hard, challenged yourselves and achieved so much. We hope you went home tired, muddy and proud of what you accomplished! 💪😊

And, of course, a massive thank you to all the leaders and volunteers who ran the activity bases and helped make the day such a success. ⚜️❤️

Now for the big question...

🤔 Which badges shall we do next year? 👀
