From Monday 16th November 2009, as part of The Scout Association's development of one fully integrated website for Members, the information contained on this page is no longer being maintained. For up to date information please visit the following link: Cub Scouts: Community Challenge

Cub Scouts should complete three of the following:

1. Find out about a place of worship (preferably different from their own) in their local community. Find out what happens there and tell other Cub Scouts about it. If possible they should visit a place of worship or meet a religious leader.

2. Organise a fundraising event for a charity of their choice.

3. Over a period of a month take good care of a pet. Make a record of how they have cared for their pet, for example, food, exercise, and cleaning/grooming.

4. Meet or visit someone who helps their local community, for example, a police officer, a fire fighter or lifeboat crewmember. Explain to others what they have learned and how we can help them to do their job.

5. Find out what hazards there could be in the home or Meeting Place or on a campsite. Help other Cub Scouts to be aware of any dangers.

6. Learn the following basic First Aid: controlling bleeding, burns and scalds, airway protection and how and when to get help.
