Resource pack and badge to suit any sec-

tion and how much time you have

Hello, - Thank you for viewing this

resource park and I hope that you have

fun completing it.

I have created this resource pack with

the help of my leaders to help with fundraising

towards my international trip, and other residential

opportunities our unit offers.

In summer 2019 I have been selected to attend the

World Scout Jamboree in West Virginia, America.

On this trip I will be representing Girlguiding

Staffordshire as part of a contingent from Midlands

Region.

I wanted to create a challenge badge so many

people will be able to learn about different countries

that they might not know a lot about. I thought it

would be educational as well as fun. I enjoy gaining

badges and everyone can work together to complete

the activities.

Thank you for considering completing my challenge

badge, please do, and please don’t forget to buy

your badges after! If you live within reasonable

distance of Stoke on Trent and would like me to

come and talk to your unit about my trip, once I have

returned, please let me know and we will try to do so

This game is played like Mr Greenstrings/ Mrs Browns Shopping Bag/ List, with the

kids in teams of 5 running round the chairs when their character is read out from the

story. The characters are: Robert Baden-Powell Olave Soames, Agnes Baden -

Powell Scouts Girl Guides

The 22nd February is the Joint Birthday of Robert Baden-Powell and Olave

Soames, and with the help of Agnes Baden -Powell, these are the people who

created scouts and Girl Guides and this day is also known as Thinking Day.

Robert Baden-Powell set up scouts in 1908. They were just for boys and based

around things he learned in the army. The scouts grew and grew, Robert Baden -

Powell organised a camp for the scouts at Brownsea Island. The scouts who

attended had a great time.

Robert Baden -Powell then organised a rally in 1909 for the scouts at Crystal Palace

in London, but all did not go well, a bunch of girls turned up wanting to be girl

scouts.

Robert Baden -Powell liked the idea of the girls having a group similar to the scouts

so he asked his sister Agnes Baden -Powell to help in set up a group for the girls

similar to the scouts.

Agnes Baden -Powell worked hard with Robert Baden -Powell to create this group,

and the decided to call them Girl Guides.

The Girl Guides took part in activities like the scouts and Robert Baden- Powell and

Agnes Baden -Powell ensured that both the scouts and Girl Guides had lots of fun.

In 1921 Robert Baden -Powell met a lady called Olave Soamesand in time Robert

Baden -Powell and Olave Soames got married, and she became Olave Baden-

Powell, but for the purpose of this game, we will continue to call her Olave Soames.

Agnes Baden- Powell was very happy for her brother and new sister in law

Agnes Baden -Powell asked Olave Soames to help her with the Girl Guides. Olave

Soames really enjoyed doing this, and in 1914 both Olave Soames and Agnes

Baden -Powell with the support of Robert Baden -Powell set up a group similar to

scouts and Girl Guides for their younger sisters. This group was originally called the

Rosebuds, but they did not like this name and Olave Soames and Agnes Baden -

Powell renamed them Brownies.

The 22nd of February, which is the joint birthday of Robert Baden -Powell and

Olave Soames is known as Thinking Day. It is on this day when scouts and Girl

Guides from all around the world join together to celebrate the scouts and Girl

Guides organisations and remember their founders Robert Baden -Powell Agnes

Baden -Powell and Olave Soames.

Shrove Tuesday is the tradition when everything that

you had left in the house would go off over the lent period

was fried into a pancake and eaten up. Have a go at

cooking pancakes, what do you eat with yours? Have a

pancake tossing race, who is the biggest

‘tosser’ in your unit? Think about lent,

what would you give up? Can you give

something up? How long can you go

without something for? Can you raise

money by giving something up ?

St Georges day—is 23rd April and he

is the patron saint of England. On this day people

traditionally wear red roses and fly flags. Can you make a

Ireland on 17th March, is often celebrated with

shamrocks, leprechauns and Guinness. Can

you find a shamrock (Clover)I n the grass outside ? Or

lucky—what would you wish for if you saw one/ found one?

Using as many clean recycling items as you can collect,

either individually or in small groups, create your own

version of the Sydney opera house

Games - Australian Children love playing outside and

many of the games they play are

similar to some of ours: favourites

include :

Stuck in the Mud

Hide and Seek

What time is it Mr Wolf

Wink Murder

They also enjoy skipping, both normally, Dutch skipping

and over elastics.

Why not hold your meeting

outside and have fun playing

these games

Nobody could be scared of this crocodile! Can they ? Why not try and make your own ?

Kookaburra,

That's no monkey, that's

me.

This is a fast and fun activity for kids studying Australia, or perhaps as an Australia Day activity. It lends itself as a group activity, too.

The Chinese farm worker's hat (pictured below) originates in South

East Asia and was made of straw. Its wide brim was designed to protect

field workers from the sun and rain. It could also be dipped into water

and then put on the head to cool its owner as the water evaporated!

Your kids can have fun making and decorating their own version in our

Chinese farm worker’s hat craft.

You will need:

Large sheet of red card

Gold pen or paint

Glue or sticky tape

Instructions:

Tie a piece of string to a pencil. Hold the string in the centre of the card.

Hold the pencil so the string is taut and pull it round the centre to draw

a circle.

Cut out the circle. Now cut out a segment of the circle - about one sixth

of the total.

With the gold pen or paint, colour the middle of the hat and draw a line

around the outside edge. Perhaps you could decorate the hat with

Chinese calligraphy characters (our calligraphy cards will give you some

ideas.

Bend the edges of the hat together to form a cone and glue or tape in

place. Attach a wide ribbon inside if you wish.

Hieroglyphic Bingo

•Each person should create a card with 10 different

Egyptian symbols on.

The either paint or colour in with bold and vibrant colours.

Sheep and The Hyena - Sudan

Hyena’s have to try break through children's hands into the centre of the circle to get to Sheep. Once the Hyena catches the sheep the game is over

Big Snake

This game develops skill in cooperation,

coordination and quick reflexes

Preparation – Pick one person to be the SNAKE. The snake

goes into one corner of the area, which is designated as the

snakes home base.

How to play:

1.At the sound of a whistle the snake comes out of the

home base. The snake tries to catch the other players.

Tagged players become the body of the snake. They join

hands with the snake and then continue to try to catch the

others.

2. The original snake is always the leader and determines

which order her body goes in. Only the snakes head and tail

can tag other players with their free arm.

3. The other players that are trying not to be tagged can try

to cause the snake to break by twisting and turning. If the

snake does come apart it has to return to its home base to

re group and join again. (This gives the players who are

trying not to be tagged a little chance to breath and rest

while the snake re groups).

Television commercials are typically a trial to be borne, but when it comes to Super Bowl commercials, that's not even close to the case. The vast majority of Super Bowl spectators are Americans, and they eagerly await breaks in the big game to see which commercials wow them the most [source: Rushin]. In the days that follow, those ads are debated and hashed over, rated and discussed, with gusto and ad nauseam, maybe even more than the sometimes lackluster game.

Which commercials cost the most to make? Which ones

were surprisingly cheap? How much were the commercial

slots sold for? The potential questions are endless. As for

answers, in 2011, one of the most popular commercials

was a Doritos ad that cost only about $500 to make.

Altogether, around 60 commercials aired throughout the

game, with prices up to $3 million for 30-

second slots [source: Horovitz]. At

$100,000 a second, advertisers are happy

to fuel this particular American tradition of

advertisement scrutiny.—Make your own

America. Children sit in a circle and one player, the “fox”,

walks around the circle tapping each player’s head and

around the circle and attempt to tag the fox before the fox

can sit down in the goose’s empty space. If the fox sits

down safely, the goose becomes the fox. If the fox is

tagged (s)he must continue to be “it”.– Play a game of
