Global Challenge

Cub Scouts should complete four of the following:

1. Find out about the traditions, culture, food, religion and other interesting characteristics of a country different from your own.
2. Find out about the work of an international charity that helps around the world (for example, OXFAM, UNICEF) and then present your findings to the rest of the Pack.
3. Find out about an aspect of international Scouting. You could take part in a ‘Join In Jamboree’ activity, or arrange a visit from a Jamboree participant. Or you could find out about Scouting in a country of your choice.
4. Find out about things that can be recycled or how energy can be saved. Over a period of weeks show how you have recycled or saved energy at home.
5. Find out about a global issue such as poverty, conservation or water and sanitation, and what you can do to help.
6. Find out about a technology of your choice. This could be a personal computer, a car engine, an aircraft or anything similar. You should understand the basic functions of the technology and how it is used and a brief history. You should then present your findings to the rest of the Pack.
