Scouts: the springboard to my career
/news/2020/march/scouts-the-springboard-to-my-career/In his job interview to become a police officer, Scout volunteer Keyur Patel was asked about his skills and experiences – to cope under pressure, to work in a team, to be brave, to show empathy to those in difficult circumstances. Almost all of the examples he gave were examples of things he’d learnt in Scouts. Here, Keyur tells us how Scouts helped him onto the road to his career.

To give you ideas for Halloween (or any other monster-themed night, because who doesn’t love finding out about new horrifying beasts of legend?), we look at some of the strangest monsters around the globe. One isn’t quite what it seems, though – can you spot the ‘fake’ monster, made up by 16th Erith Waingunga Cubs?
How to handle challenging behaviour
/news/2020/april/how-to-handle-challenging-behaviour/It’s difficult for anyone to be ‘well behaved’ 100% of the time, but particularly tough when we’re stuck inside with each other all day long. Knowing that for some young people, tempers can fray quite quickly, we spoke to authors and educators Paul Dix and Noël Janis-Norton to get their thoughts on how families can help to promote positive behaviour.
History Comes Alive Blanket Badge
/scouts/activity-badges/history-comes-alive-blanket-badge/The History Comes Alive Blanket Badge is the winning design from our Scouts 'Design a Badge' competition! Our blanket badges don't have set requirements, but we've added some activity ideas below to help. Baker, from South Lanarkshire, produced this great design when he was still in Cubs. The top four entries from the competition were posted on social media where members voted for their favourite. Well done Baker!
