The BIG weekender includes so many activities for you to try over the day: from archery to abseiling, Inflatables to high-ropes, and so much more… There’ll also be plenty of entertainment, crafts, socials, and campfires.
No one reminisces about a night of Netflix. Make memories and friends at The BIG Weekender 2022!
In this activity, young people will learn about what’s on badges and their designs and design their own. You could look at the history of badges, create badges to celebrate a particular event, or just have a bit of fun and get creative – you can decide how this activity will work best for you.
Use the Safety checklist to help you plan and risk assess your activity. Additional coronavirus-related controls to think about may include:
Beavers and Cubs could design the badge together, working as a team to include everyone’s ideas. Scouts, Explorers & Network could create designs individually or use appropriate computer programmes to design the badge.
This activity counts towards the following badges:
Step 1: learn about other badges
Step 2: design your badge
This activity was designed to get people thinking about what’s important to them and others. Take some time to ask questions and encourage the group to give their thoughts while everyone is showing off their badge designs. Did anyone choose the same things to put on their badge? Did people choose things they like or things that were important to them?
