1st Blackburn Scout Group is sponsored by the Blackburn Community Association. 

If you would like to join a section in the 1st Blackburn Scout Group, please attend one of our meetings.  Meetings are held Mondays from 6:30 to 7:45 in the gym at Emily Carr Middle School in Blackburn Hamlet.

Badge Work helps you keep your Cub Book up to date by summarizing the activities we worked on during the year.

To help you remember, this year we're working on the Black and Purple stars.  As well, our Pack Specialty Badge this year revolves around Geocaching.  For more information about geocaching, visit http://www.geocaching.com/guide/default.aspx 
 

Badge FAQ

 
1.  Which badges can I work on?

You can work on any badge you like -- they don't have to be the ones from the Stars we're working on that year.

2.  When I'm finished the requirements for a badge, how do I get one?

You can sign up in the "badge testing book" on the leader table at the beginning of every meeting, and a leader will meet with you to test that you've completed all of the requirements.  You'll be presented with your badge at the meeting.  (We do try to get through everybody who signs up, but that's not possible every night.  Don't worry though -- we'll get to your badge test as soon as we can!)

3.  How do I know what I need to do to earn a badge?

All of the badge requirements are in your Cub book, or at the link below.

Don't forget to review badge requirements carefully!  A requirement listed here is one we worked on during a pack activity, but may require more work on your own to complete.
