Instructions

Everyone should sit on the floor and take it in turns to introduce themselves by saying their name and a fact about themselves.
Everyone should then split into small groups and talk to the other people in their group about what they think a Scout does and what qualities a Scout has.
Qualities can be things like being kind to other people, telling the truth, and doing what you say you’ll do.
The person leading the activity should give each group some badges from other sections in Scouts. Each group should talk about why these badges might be given to a Scout.
You might need to encourage people to get their conversations started. You could think about the colours and pictures on the badges. Are they similar to badges people have seen before?
Everyone should get back into a large circle on the floor and take it in turns to feed back to the group. What did they chat about?
The person leading the activity should hold up a badge and describe it. Anyone who thinks they know what the badge is for should stand up.
The person leading the activity should ask someone who’s standing up what they think the badge is for. If they get it right (or they’re really close), then they win a point.
Everyone should repeat steps five and six to keep playing until they’ve seen all of the badges. The team with the most points is the winner.
