RESOURCES FOR CUBS
Home Safety Badge - The National Grid worksheet is great resource for part of the Home Safety Badge National Grid Worksheet.
This is another printout of Dangers in the Home where cubs have to circle anything they think is dangerous [1].
This is a group resource for Home Saftey. The first poster reads "What to do if you smell gas . . .". There are 16 more pages each with an answer to the question. Cubs can design a poster for each point to display [2].

Air Activities Badge - 1st Shadoxhurst Cubs completed the Air Activities Badge on a one day visit to Brenzett Air Museum. The volunteers (two of them are ex Cub leaders) are really helpful if you pre-arrange a visit. I printed out the requirements of the badge and the volunteers ticked off each point when complete[3]. Also see [4] for RAF Museum worksheet for rainy days.

St George's Day - Print outs of St Patrick's, St Andrew's and St George's flags to colour in, cut out and stick together to make the Union flag http://www.adscouts.org.uk/site/images/4/4f/St_George_flag.pdf]. You'll need lots of red and blue felt tip pens!

Communicator Badge - Two print outs that we use every year - letters of the alphabet in semaphore [5]. We usually make a flag each using red and yellow card then pair up to send messages to each other.
Morse code [6]. I have a little electronic buzzer which the cubs use to spell out a word while the others guess.
Another thing I do for the Communicator Badge is give the Cubs them a shopping list of five or six items to memorise for the following week.

Tracking - This is great for learning tracking signs if your pack can't get out and about, or if it rains on the night you're planning a tracking trek! It's a gridded map using tracking to get from A to B. The back of the sheet has some questions about the 'virtual' trek [7].
