We know the coming days and weeks are going to be difficult for families across the UK, as the spread of Covid-19 causes schools to close. As the experts in developing skills and bringing adventure to young people, we want to do what we can to help.  

While we normally love the great outdoors, we’ve pulled together some inspired indoor activity ideas (if we do say so ourselves). Keep your kids learning new skills and having fun (and avoid hearing ‘I’m bored’ every 30 seconds) all in #TheGreatIndoors.

We will select an activity each week that you can work on towards achieving a badge. Make sure to record your progress, and let us know how you are getting on. You can use the Parent Portal on OSM for this purpose, just ask your parent/carer to help you with this.

On OSM just look at the badges and see which ones have got a little house icon listed. These are the badges that you can work towards from home.

For Beavers this week you could perhaps try a flair of hot air. A brilliant activity to find out how a hot air balloon works.

Although selected for Beavers, it can also be done by Cubs and Scouts.

For Cubs, we ask you to Changing your coat. No, not the you wear outside, but your coat of arms. And you might discover what your local coat of arms is.
