Your kids and teens will be sent to do Scout activities on Sundays (and Saturdays in some cases) from 2 pm to 4 pm. Once they join the scouting career, your tasks will be to perform activities that earn them badges. Expect that you will have to make them repeat a certain activity a few times before they become eligible to earn a badge.
