Description

This is an activity to help young people look at what friendship is and identify these characteristics in their friends, both within and outside the Unit. Friendship is one thing that Scouting undoubtedly helps to build. However, young people do need reminding of the importance of friendship and how they need to maintain and build relationships. This programme will help them to do that, whilst being an enjoyable and interesting activity for them to undertake.

Instructions

During this section, the Explorer Scouts should be split up into small friendship groups of four at the most

- The unit should be split up into small groups
- Give each group a set of the Friends cards
- The cards are placed face down in the middle of the group
- One person takes a card, reads it and then gives it to an appropriate member of the group without speaking
- Each person takes it in turn to take a card, read it and pass it to another person in the group
- The whole activity should be completed in silence
- Once all the cards have been distributed, each person takes it in turn to read the cards that he or she is holding, describing their characteristics

• Does everyone agree with the cards they have been given?
• Feedback to the whole group on what was found.
Try doing this activity with the Unit as a whole to see if the results are the same.
Note. It is important that everyone in the group receives at least one card.
