CHALLENGES: all 10 points
- Write a comic strip about how humanity would react to the discovery of life elsewhere in the universe.
- Use your creative ability to produce something that promotes a scouting activity or an event.
- Washing up after a meal including utensils, pots and pans, plates, glasses and cutlery, dispose of the rubbish and leftover food in a way that prevents vermin or illness.
- Show how to use social media or the internet in a creative and safe way.
- Research a current space mission, such as the mission to Mars.
- Think about the rights that we have in the UK (like the right to vote, the right to go to school and equal gender rights) and make a list. Compare these with the rights a Scout in another country might have.
- Learn a new song and sing it.
- Using a combination of programming, digital art, digital devices, electronic components, and other appropriate materials, create something that could serve a - purpose in a scouting activity.
- Create a film, video, stop-motion animation or podcast and share it using a suitable media sharing tool.


HOLD A VIRTUAL CAMP: 25 points
- Let’s get out and camp if you can in your gardens, find a tent (borrow one if you need to) and pitch it in your garden, rope in your brothers and sisters if you have them or parents can help too. If you don’t have an outside space to camp then create a really great den somewhere in your house and sleep in that. Take some photos to share with your leaders.
- If you can cook outside have a go at making a meal for your family, this could be on a fire pit or a BBQ but you will need an adult to support. Think about the kinds of meals you might have had on previous camps.
- Remember to take lots of photos and show your leaders what you manage to achieve, even if you just try beans and camp doughnuts it is having a go that will be the challenge!
- (Variation create a ‘backwoods camp’ at home.)

CREATE A PAINTED ROCK TRAIL: 15 points
- Lots of you will have seen painted rocks when you are out and about on walks and bike rides. Why not think of a theme for some designs, then paint some of your own small pebbles with your designs and create a local trail that local families can follow at the weekend, or they can just go out and collect.
- You could even add a ‘Fleur de Lis’ on the back so some might recognise that a scout made it.

Badges: Outdoor challenge


HOW ABOUT A GARDENING ADVENTURE: 20 points

Now the weather is warming up how about growing some fruit/vegetables in a pot/on a windowsill? Keep a diary and write down how long does it take to see a new shoot; grow a set of leaves; fruit/flower? What do the plants need to do well, how will you ensure they have the best chance to grow well? Think about where these foods come from that you buy in the supermarket and when are they seasonal in the UK? Can you work out the food miles if they were bought from overseas.

LOCKDOWN/VIRTUAL EXPEDITION CHALLENGE: 25 points
- Using Google Maps or an atlas plan a journey around the world in 80 stops, where would you like to visit? Would it be easy to get there?
- Maybe you would like to go Pole to Pole or maybe a trek taking in the darkest African jungle would be your idea of adventure Or perhaps you would sail via the islands of the globe to hop around the world or scale some of the highest mountains!
- Log how you would travel there in a self-made diary and write an imaginary diary of your adventures with pictures and other ‘souvenirs’ collected along the way. You could even add bits from any travels you have had in the past!
