Instructions

Create your badge bucket lists
- Give each Six a big sheet of paper, pens, and a Cub Scout Badges and Awards book (or printed badges and requirements).
- Sixers should lead their Six as they talk about which badges they would like to work on.
- Each Six should talk about the reasons they would like to do each badge, and ideas of what they could do to achieve it.
- Each Six should agree on their top choice badge to do at Cubs, to present to the rest of the Pack.

Present your ideas
- Form a panel of judges – this should include adult volunteers, young leaders, and Sixers.
- One by one, each Six must persuade the panel that their top choice badge is the best idea. Each Sixer should leave the panel to present with their Six.
- Each Six should present their top choice badge, along with the reasons they think the Pack should do it, and any ideas they have about how they could achieve it. Sixers should usually take the lead on presenting to the panel.
- After each presentation, each person on the panel (except the Sixer who’s presenting) should award the idea one, two, or three stars.
- The badge with the most stars is the winner, and should be planned into the programme as soon as possible.

Take it further
Cubs could suggest ideas and plan activities to meet the requirements of their chosen badge.

Youth shaped guidance
Make sure you show the Cubs that volunteers are taking their ideas seriously, and work together to make them happen.
