This evening one of Greater Manchester West’s Assistant Youth Commissioners (Troy Wood) visited the Cubs to talk to them about Space. Troy won a competition designing the Principia mission patch worn by British astronaut Tim Peake.

The Cubs were really engaged and it rounded off nicely the completion of the Astronomer badge.

Troy has also earned every badge in Beavers, Cubs and Scouts and has nearly completed all the badges in Explorers!

Hopefully the Cubs are feeling inspired to be like Troy and try new activities (stepping out of their comfort zone), aim high completing the badges available to them and the Chief Scout Award.

Do more. Share more. Be more. #SkillsForLife
