Badgers (ages 7-10)

Our Badger setts are all about fun, adventure, and learning first aid.

Being a Badger

Anyone aged 7-10 can join a Badger Sett, these are after-school clubs which operate across England. Badgers usually meet once a week for around 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Badgers take part in fun activities for different subjects, earning badges and certificates for each one. For every three subjects a Badger completes, they can receive a bronze, silver, or gold award.

Badgers can:

• • learn first aid
• • make new friends
• • get creative with arts and crafts
• • find out how the body works and how to stay healthy
• • learn about helping their local community
• • take part in team games
• • develop leadership and communication skills, and much more!
