Developing these Promise and Law resources was a part of my Olave Baden Powell Award, and the key reason for developing this website. I'm very thankful to all the units and leaders who helped out by testing the activities or lending me their Guides to test things on - these lovely people are acknowledged at the bottom of the page.
Activities are listed separately and have 3 types of tags to help you find what you are looking for. Recuit/Guide tags indicate if the activity is suited to members who have recently joined or Guides who have already made their promise. Age tags indicate the developmental stages I had in mind as suitable for the activity (including OP standing for lave Program). And finally Individual/Patrol/Unit tags indicate the size group that the activity can work with. Click on the tags to filter activities.
Time: 15-30 Minutes
Equipment:
Chalk
Concrete/Brick footpath that it is ok to draw on with chalk
Instructions:
Give each Guide or patrol a different block of the footpath, and a different part of the law or promise.
They write their law on the path with chalk, and then add symbols, illustrations or decorations
Idea: The finished footpath could be used as part of a Guides Own, Promise or Link ceremony.
An activity to get Guides thinking about what we mean by "my community" in the Promise, and how they could serve that community
