Promise & Law Resources

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.

Promise & Law Memory

Time: 5-10 Minutes


Equipment:

  • Cards - Laminated with 2 copies of each line of the Promise and Law


Instructions:

  1. Shuffle the cards and lay them out, face down, in a grid on the floor

  2. Take turns to choose 2 cards to turn over. If they don’t match, turn them back over. If they do match, pick them up and hold on to them, You then get another turn.

  3. After someone gets a mis-matched pair, the next person can have a turn.The aim is to collect as many pairs as possible, remembering where they are in the grid.
