Community Walkabout
Instructions
Provide each Scout with a smartphone or disposable camera and a sketchbook or notebook. Instruct Scouts to go around their neighbourhood and take photos of objects or scenes that they think reflect a social problem. Encourage Scouts to take notes or write down their observations in their sketchbook or notebook.
Debrief
After the Scouts have taken their photos, gather them together and discuss their findings as a group. Instruct Scouts to put together their photos and any objects they have collected into their sketchbook to create a visual representation of the social issues they have identified. Facilitate a discussion on the social issues observed, their causes, effects, and possible solutions.
Materials Needed
Smartphones or disposable cameras (one per scout or per small group)
Sketchbooks or notebooks
Pens, pencils, or markers for writing and drawing
