The Spring Term will see 5th Risca Scout Troop tackling their World Challenge Award, each session we will complete a part of the challenge.
The World Challenge Award is one of nine awards that Scouts must achieve in order to get the highest award a Scout can earn: The Chief Scout's Gold Award.
Already this term we have:
-
Discovered New Years traditions from other cultures, including the local tradition of the Mari Lwyd
-
Debated on a variety of topics in order to discover and discuss our beliefs and values
-
Connected with two Scout groups outside of the UK to learn about Scouting in Australia and Chile
For the rest of the term we will be exploring where everyday objects are made, getting outside and cooking on a fire (weather depending!), and looking at local environmental issues.
We also have a number of sessions and activities planned that are not directly related to the World Challenge Award:
-
Contributing designs for the 80th anniversary of scouting in Risca
-
Designing badges and plaques for the Risca branch of the Royal British Legion
-
Monopoly Run
-
Kicking off the Personal Challenge Award
-
And of course lots of fun and games amongst it all!
