The Cub Scout Den and
Resource Guide suggests that you play Jeopardy to pass off some of the
requirements for the Citizen activity badge.
This worked well for us. I used
their suggested plan as a starting point and modified it some. I found that while they were okay, some of
their questions did not really work towards the requirements, and there were
others that were not included that I thought could be. I created the game on JeopardyLabs, so we
were able to play from my tablet during den meeting. Here is the link to the game I put together: jeopardylabs.com/play/webelos-citizen-jeopardy24
(click to follow link). You can play from that website or use it as a
starting point for your own game.
Playing this game (mine, available here) fulfills these requirements for the Citizen activity badge:
#2
#3—partial
#4—partial
#6
This is a fun way to quickly get through a good chunk of the
information. If you want to print (or
quickly view) the list of questions, you can use this file.
The only problem we ran into was that some of our Scouts don't read well. I read all the questions aloud, so none had to read them to answer, but the problem came in answering. We allowed them to refer to their handbooks for help if needed, but not all of them were able to do so.
