Description

Personal Safety Badge

6 bases session plan for CUBS - provides 6 bases that Cubs can do in their sixes in rotation, each base should last about 10 minutes and with a couple of minutes to change bases the session should take about 1 hour and 15 minutes. The bases help the cubs to achieve all aspects of the personal safety badge, apart from helplines and digital safety, and most importantly helps them learn two fundamental safety skills - paying attention to what is happening around you and following safety instructions. The session requires a minimum of 4 adult leaders or young helpers. 3 of the bases can be 'Sixer' led, giving Sixers a chance to practice leadership skills.
