Size Guide
Pre-Order

With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.

Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!

Pre-Launch

With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.

So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.

Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates

Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.

The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

We estimate this will be ready for despatch to you or collection via Click & Collect on Undetermined

Explorers Communication Activity Badge

Season:Scouting

Brand:Scout Store

Code:E-Act-Communication

The Explorers’ Communication badge will help you to explore new ways to connect, share ideas, and communicate effectively.

Complete three activities. You could:

  1. Discover - Find out about digital footprints.

    Research yourself online and find out what information someone could find out about you if they tried. You don’t need to share the results, but using what you’ve found out, investigate how you can make yourself safer online.

  2. Experience - Learn a new way of communicating.

    Learn some phrases and words in either, a new language, sign language or by exploring non-verbal ways of communicating.

  3. Mobilise - Look at how charities talk about Mental Health. Create and share a way to encourage open conversations about feelings.

    What could you do to encourage people to talk about how they are feeling?

  4. Solve - Research the issues around social media and digital communication.

    Think about the pros and cons of different platforms. What could be done to help people in your Unit use the different platforms safely and effectively?

  5. Create - Create a method of communicating.

    Think big – this could be from building a machine to help communicate (think radio, Raspberry Pi, morse code machine or similar), or designing a method of communication to help in one of your activities (for example, when on the water).

Tips

  • Make it your own

    Remember to think broadly and choose something that you are interested in.


    Think about the power of communication and the benefits of communicating effectively.


    If you are applying for further education or jobs, think about how you could use your new communication skills to help.

    To get the badge, you can either try some of our example activities, or come up with your own with support from a Scouts volunteer or trusted adult. The activities should be challenging for you and take a reasonable amount of time.

  • Guidance for Leaders

    Offer flexibility and encourage Explorers to tailor their badge to their interests and skill set.


    Everyone has different skills and experiences, so try to consider their starting point when choosing what they will achieve.


    As a rough guide, an Activity Badge should be achievable within 3 weeks of activities.
