Gardening Activities for Beavers, Cubs & Scouts
Here is a great Scouting activity that you can do whilst earning a badge during social
distancing.
The activity is for
• Beavers & Cubs: Gardener Activity Badge
• Scouts: Farmer Activity Badge
All three are very similar and have been adapted to suit conditions. Remember to always
follow government guidance on social conditioning.
There are many videos you can watch on YouTube and some are included. If you have a
family member or friend who is a Gardner perhaps reach out a FaceTime them to get their
top tips.
You will need some small containers, no bigger than bucket size, why not recycle
something, or a window box
Some small hand tools but almost anything will do, a dibber could be a old pencil or a twig
Some small stones are needed for drainage in the bottom of the pots where there are
drainage holes
Some soil. This can be from the ground but will need to be sieved to break it up or better still
some bagged compose [maybe your neighbor has some to spare]
Lastly some seeds and these are cheap and can be purchased on line from a number of
merchants
For example
www.dtbrownseeds.co.uk
Some Tips:
Sow seeds thinly so they have room to grow
Dont over water, just keep the soil damp
Space out the seeds as instructions on the packet
When the seeds germinate thin out the seedlings
To keep things simple and will grow quickly meaning you should to able to eat them in June
or July the following are suggested:
Spring Onions
Lettuce
Carrots
Dwarf Beans
Garlic (take a clove of a bulb)
