Community Impact Stage 3 Activity Badge

Community Impact Stage 3 Activity Badge

The Community Impact staged activities give you the chance to make the most of your time, create positive social change, help people in your community and make the world a better place.

How to earn the badge:

1. Identify need. Investigate what issues and challenges exist in your chosen community – local, national or international.

2. Plan action. Decide what issue your section would like to take action on and what you would like to change. Work with a group of people not involved in Scouting, who are passionate about your cause, to plan action that will make a positive difference.

3. Take action over nine months. You should:

• spend at least 24 hours in total personally taking action on your chosen issue. You can achieve more impact by spreading your time out, over six months, instead of doing it all in one go.
• involve others from your section and a group of non-Scouts, preferably from the community you are trying to help.

4. Learn and make more change. Talk about what you learned with your section, how you have made people’s lives better and what you could do to help more people in your chosen community.

5. Tell the world. Help other people to understand why your chosen issue is important. Explain what you did and how they can also help.
