The Fall 2021 Challenge: Around the World in 60 Days
Posted by David White on Oct.12, 2021, under Beavers, Cubs, Group, Scouts
2021Over the next eight-weeks, our Sections will visit eight different countries, develop new skills through fun challenges and support their communities and the planet by leading exciting “Scouts for Sustainability” activities.
With the help of a symbolic transporting compass, Scouting members can ping around the globe to different destinations quickly. In each country they are faced with a challenge or a fun activity to champion as a Section. Once completed, the Section can collect a crest for that week and eventually curate the full composite crest!
Each week, Scouting mmbers will acquire a “GADGET” in pursuing their adventures; these items will be used in the activity for Week 8: Contraption Action, so they will be holding on to their GADGETS!
