Leader’s Packs and Worksheets

If Science was not your forte at school, the Scientist Badge may seem like too much of a challenge for your Cub pack

Rolls-Royce wants to take the fear out of science and replace it with fun! To help you get started, they have come up with four brilliant activities for you to try out at pack meetings, using everyday household items. There is a worksheet for Cubs to complete and Leader’s notes with full instructions for you (including an example of a completed worksheet).

Each activity can be completed within 30 minutes and meets one of the requirements of the Cub Scout Scientist Badge.
