Beaver Scout Animal Friend Activity Badge (Pets at Home)
Our partner Pet at Home has produced an activity pack to support the Beaver Animal Friend Activity Badge.
Pets at Home are one of The Scouts longest serving partners, supporting the Cub Scout Animal Carer and Beaver Scout Animal Friends badges. Pets at Home want to encourage great pet care and responsible pet ownership in young people. They choose to do this through The Scouts because of its lengthy history in educating young people as active and responsible citizens who respect life in all its forms.
Animals need love, care and affection. Show your care and commitment by looking after your animal friends.
How to earn the badge:
1. Learn how to care for an animal. Find out what the animal needs. Learn about its food, habitat, space, exercise and sleeping area.
2. Help to take care of that animal for four weeks.
3. Keep a note of how you have looked after the animal for four weeks. You can draw, take photographs or write short sentences.
4. Tell others in your Colony or Lodge about the animal.
Top tips:
The animal you care for could be a dog, cat, gerbil, guinea pig, fish, bird, rabbit, lamb or even a stick insect!
This can include the looking after of wild animals such as birds. Caring for them would include feeding them and looking after a bird bath, for example.
Maybe you could help look after a family member’s pet.
Even though there are lots of computer games and things that show you what it’s like to care for an animal, these won’t count for this badge. You will need to learn to take care of a real, live animal.
