Rolls-Royce Cub Scout Scientist Badge

In 2007 Rolls-Royce launched a new partnership with The Scout Association to sponsor the Cub Scout Scientist Badge. This partnership focuses on encouraging Cub Scouts (8-10 Year olds) and their adult leaders to complete a range of activities required to achieve the Scientist Badge. Rolls-Royce has developed a set of resources to support this including instructions on how to undertake all nineteen Scientist Badge activities (Cubs have to complete six in order to gain the badge). A selection of these resources can be accessed below:
