For Beavers world badge (Take part in an activity from another country.) discuss origami origins:
Explain that origami’s the Japanese art of paper folding. Origami was used for ceremonial purposes as early as 6th-Century in Japan, and later became a recreational pastime. It doesn’t even have to be paper; cardboard, napkins and food bags can all be folded into a pretty creation. If you’ve been to a particularly fancy hotel, you might have seen towels folded into swans.
