Cubs Naturalist Badge

We are again repeating the opportunity for Kent Cub Scouts to complete the Naturalist Badge at Lower Grange Farm during April to the end of September 2015. Packs who came last year used the evening as a Pack Meeting or if coming at the weekend as an extra event. All dates and times need to be checked with the Centre Manage before confirmation is given.

The Badge takes about 2 hours to complete but this is dependent on the numbers attending. The Pack is split into 3 groups and work their way around the various bases which are:

• Stream Dipping and recognition of what has been caught
• Bug hunting and identifying
• Trees/fruits of trees/leaves/bark rubbings
• Games if time related to the badge

The cost of £5 per Cub includes refreshments at the end, together with the badge and a Pack Certificate of Attendance. Times for the evening are 6.30pm to 8.30pm with a minimum of 10 Cubs.(Weekend times are by arrangement)

There is no need to prepare the Cubs for this badge, however a little knowledge from the leaders could be helpful as they will accompany the Cubs around each Base.
