"I can do it" 7 day challenge
Description
For your Squirrel Scouts aged 4–6, I'd make a colourful "I Can Do It!" 7-Day Challenge Chart that they can take home and complete with their grown-up.
Resources
Printable task chart
star stickers for each child or colouring activities
Instructions
Each Squirrel chooses one new skill they want to learn, then practises it over seven days. They can colour in a star, add a sticker or tick a box each time they try.
The important thing is to reward trying, not just succeeding, because building confidence is part of the badge requirement.
The chart includes seven stars to colour in or cover with stickers, examples of suitable tasks, and a space for a reward chosen with their grown-up.
I'd suggest a reward such as choosing a bedtime story, picking a family game or earning a special certificate. They should be celebrated for making an effort, even if they haven't mastered their skill by Sunday.
