neckers, sending it to the 53rd’s Email to be posted on our Facebook Page and Web site.
Eight Tasks were posted and Members had to do all 8 to get the Badge. Click on the Keep

Star Work for Cubs
Once Cubs had sent in work done on the 8 Tasks for the Keep on Scouting Badge, Cub Leaders notice when
updating the records for the First and Second Stars that many Cubs needed requirements for Science and Nature.
After videos were made by older Explorers we now present four Experiments. Cubs must do 3 of the 4 and send in
photos of their results to the 53rd email address. They must not forget to wear their neckers. Click on the links
below to see the Experiments. We ask Parents to help and explain what happens during the experiments.
