Platforms for Change Blanket Badge

Platforms for Change is a collaboration between Community Rail Network, the wider rail industry and the Scouts, which will see groups ranging from Squirrels to Explorers visiting their local stations and engaging in community rail activity. Groups can use this as a new and different place to work towards a range of badges, not just the Rail Industry sponsorships, all while giving back to the local community.

Activities groups can work on include

• Bug hotel building

• Someone filming a Backtrack pledge

• Painting the station

• Train trip

• Litter picking

• Safety briefing by station staff

• Getting a ticket/going through the barriers

• Watering plants

• Planting flowers/sowing seeds

• Weeding

• Placing pictures/artwork in frames at the station

• Taking pictures/helping with social media

• Fundraising
