I'm looking for some new ideas for compass and orienteering related activities aimed at Cubs. We already do compass poker (our own invention) and a relay race...
I have a cardboard template of a compass 16 points and have the cubs work together in teams or one team depending on your numbers, to fill in the points and...
Sandi, Our relay race is similar to your first item (http://www.1stmerrickville.ca/docs/compass_board_game.htm). I would be very interested in a copy of your...
I know that a 3rd year beaver can start to earn towards badges about 6 months before their enter the Cub program. But now my commisser has said that they can...
My understanding on this has always been it's up to the individual Cub Leaders of the Pack they are entering as to what they can do. Some Packs refuse to let...
If it is your group commissioner that is saying this, it may be the groups policy that they can start on the star that the Pack is working on only. I have...
My honest oppinion, leave the Cub Badges alone. Don't cross mend the program objectives. If the program was made to intermix the core objectives and events,...
Checking with the Cub leaders is definitely adviseable. As a former Akela, I would only accept requirements fulfilled the summer before joining Cubs and after...

Now reading everyone's responses. I realize I may have communicated in the wrong direction. as Beaver we don't want to do the cub activities with our third...
I still think consulting with the Cub leaders is the best advice. They are the ones responsible for crediting the youth with whatever requirements are done,...
The recent BP&P change removing 'optional' from the training requirement was, overall, probably not a bad thing. However, another new change, in last month's...
If you look at the figure skating coach in the James Bond movie For Your Eyes Only, it doesn't look like she had ever figure skated :) I think it would be...
A friend of mine recently was in Geneva for a job interview at WOSM. The position had to do with adult training. My friend reported that WOSM officials are...

I think I disagree. If a coach can learn program knowledge from a book, or other material, enough such that they can mentor someone else then why do we need a...
I must agree with Garth. You better have experience with the section you are coaching or mentoring. You can read all the books you want, but until you have...

Are there any groups that have equipment insurance? I am thinking mainly of fire/theft/vandalism, but also of equipment in/on group owned trailers while on the...
Hi Allan, When I was responsible for a group we shopped around for insurers but found that none were interested in insuring only $15,000 worth of equipment....
Allan My group uses a private insurer arranged through a Scouter who works at an agency in London, Ontario. The cost is $100 per year per $5,000 of insured...
Allan For the purpose of clarity, when I said "Private insurer" I was meaning a regular insurance company as opposed to any arrangement Scouts Canada may have....
I just heard back from Scouts Canada, the council has property insurance and may be able to add our equipment onto their policy and just charge us the...

Thanks to all who provided orienteering ideas. The meeting was quite successful. The Cubs just complained that the orienteering course was too easy :) The...
