Description

An activity to give an introduction to the Million Hands scheme, with videos to illustrate the first 5 categories of the 2019 reboot of the scheme. The sixth, "kindness" I felt was too fluffy for me to do anything meaningful with. If anyone wants to edit and extend feel free :)

I've written this for cubs but it's only the badges that are section specific- again feel free to edit and extend.

Resources

Youtube videos- preferably downloaded so you're not dependent on a network connection.

Instructions

Ask one or all the YP to say the Promise.
Point out that part of it is "to help other people." and we've been promising to do that for over a hundred years. Review what we did last year that meets that.

Show the intro video. Give a general overview of the scheme.
Point out;
1) We often don't know what we can do
2) There's lots of groups and cub packs, but we're fragmented and we don't work together
3) Combined, we have nearly half a million Scouts that could help if they knew what they could do
4) There's lots of charities that do good work, but they always need more money and people.

Show each video in turn, giving time at the end of each video for any comments the YP want to make. After all the videos, tell YP to go to specific places to support specific causes. Each group then has some time to discuss their cause, make notes and choose someone to tell the rest of the section why we should choose their cause. Then, have a presentation session and then vote.

Everyone involved gets Community Impact 1 "Identify need". Those who present also get Team Leader 1.
