Instructions

Week 1
Memory (part 1)
Ask the cubs if they remember the Cub Scout Law; they’ll be reminded of the Law and told to remember it for later.
Cub Scouts always do their best,
think of others before themselves
and do a good turn every day.

If they do remember the Law, then they can remember something else useful, like:

I must remind my parents, every week, to check the Cub programme on OSM.

Base 1 - Taking a call - ~20 minutes

Resources
- Probably need 2 adults on this base to make it easier
- Radios
- Scenario cards
- Pens
- Paper
- Table
- Chairs for the operators (callers can stand at the other end of the Hut or in the kitchen depending on noise as they don’t need to write anything).

We’ll use some radios for this and Cubs will be split in to 2’s or 3’s (depending on numbers and writing ability).  I have 4 radios so 2 lots of this can go on at once depending on what the base leader wants to do:

Cub 1 - Is given an emergency scenario that requires an ambulance, they then have to make a call (saying the number they would call, i.e. 999) and they need to let the operator(s) know:
That they need an ambulance/fire brigade/police
Where they are (xx Scout Hut; if they know street name as well that’s great)
Why they are calling, e.g. there’s smoke, someone is injured (adult or child, male or female) and how the person is injured (e.g. used an epi-pen), etc.

Cub 2 (and 3 if applicable) - Have the role of Operator and need to make a note of all the information they think the ambulance driver (a leader) needs.

Everyone gets at least 1 go at being the caller and the operator.

The base leader can make up scenarios if they want or use the cards provided.


Base 2 - Hobbies, stories, and memory (part 2) - ~20 minutes

Resources
- Hobbies badge sheets
- Reminder about the stories and Law/phrase
- Pens
- Paper (in case cubs have to make up a story and want to take notes)
- Table
- Chairs

Cubs will talk to a leader about their hobbies, part of explaining about their hobby needs to be a story, it can be a really short story, or if they can’t think of something then they can either make a SHORT story up or maybe briefly explain the plot of their favourite film or book.

On this base Cubs also need to demonstrate that they remembered the Cub Scout Law/useful sentence; I don’t mind if they help each other to remember.

I have sheets of what they need to say about their hobbies, but the leader will need to remember about the story.


Base 3 - Sign language - ~20 minutes

Resources
- Sign language sheets (letters, phrases, etc.)
- Table
- Chairs 

Cubs learn how to spell their name using sign language (I have sheets).  If they find that easy they can also learn short sentences, e.g. hello my name is… (I have sheets for this too).  Base leader doesn’t need to know sign language! Just make sure they stay as focussed as a cub can on the task, and that they don’t start messing around too much.



Week 2
Activity
- Explain what a disability is and the different types of disability.
- Know three ways to make it easier for a wheelchair user to use public places, like shops, parks, hospitals or libraries. Describe how your meeting place could be improved for a wheelchair user.
- Show how to approach and identify yourself to a blind or visually impaired person.
