Beavers Racism and Privilege Black Lives Matter

Report Copyright Infringement View in OSM UK

Description

Given the current circumstances surrounding the Black Lives Matter movement, and its link with Lord Baden-Powell (founder of Scouting) and the possible removal of his Statue at Poole Quay, we thought it was a good opportunity to have an open and honest discussion (in a sensitive and Beaver-friendly way that they can relate to) around Privilege & Racism. We linked this to the Community Impact Badge Identify and Learn requirements.

We did this via Zoom during COVID19 lockdown. June 2020.

Feedback from Parents was really good.
"Good topic for current situation and sensitively done. Good work!"
"I thought it was thoughtfully done and my kids understood a bit more about the importance of the topics."
