Jaffa
By partnering with Jaffa, we want to generate knowledge and enthusiasm amongst our young people on the benefits of healthy eating, how fruit is grown, and where it comes from.
Jaffa encompasses three core values: ‘Happy, Healthy, Honest’. By partnering with both the Beaver Health and Fitness badge, and Cub Our Skills Challenge Award, Jaffa aims to reinforce healthy habits, giving young people a chance to develop to their fullest potential.
As well as sponsoring our Beaver Health and Fitness Activity Badge, and the Cub Our Skills Challenger Award, Jaffa will also provide you with:
- A range of resources to support the badge
- A Jaffa voucher
