Aware and Care: Webelos Adventure
This adventure is an elective adventure which can be
used to earn the Webelos and Arrow of Light Badges.
In this adventure, you have to complete requirements 1-3 and two additional items from section 4.
1. Develop an awareness of the challenges of the blind or visually impaired through participation in an activity that simulates blindness or visual impairment. Alternatively, participate in an activity that simulates the challenges of being def or hard of hearing.
This summer I went to day camp. At Camp Linstead there was a lot of stations. One of the stations that we went to was called "Disability Awareness." At this station we used goggles to see what it would be like to have a visual impairment. (6/28/2017)
2. Engage in an activity that simulates mobility impairment. Alternatively, take part in an activity that simulates dexterity impairment.
At the Disability Awareness station we used crutches, walkers, and wheel chairs. We also put on gloves and tried to put on clothes. This activity was difficult and helped me understand what disabled people might be going through.(6/28/2017)
3. With your den, participate in an activity that focuses on the acceptance of differences in general.
At the Disability Awareness station and Hands Station we learned about a lot of things. We got to experience what is would be like to be disabled for 30 minutes. We used crutches, walkers, and wheelchairs. We used goggles so we couldn't see as good. We used gloves to put on clothes. We also had to draw with the opposite hand. We learned about ASL. We also got to put together a hand made out of 3d printing. We talked about people that didn't have the ability to use their hand and how 3d printing is making it possible for them to do things. As a den, we also talked about respecting and showing kindness to people that are different. (6/30/2017)
4. Do two of the following: A-H.
c. Attend a disabilities event such as a Special Olympics competition, an adaptive sports event, a performance with sign language interpretation, or an activity with service dogs.
This year I attended my Aunt's graduation from the AMERICORPS. They had a Sign Language Interpreter at her gradation. He stood up during the entire graduation. He was always in the same spot. I think he was on the left of the stage. He signed all of the songs and I think everything the speakers said. It looked like any time someone said something he signed it. It was really cool to see that. (5/24/2017)
g. Participate in a service project that focuses on a specific disability.
During the summer we swim for the Watercats. My team is apart of Columbia Neighborhood Swim League (CNSL). It's a lot of fun! This year we asked family members to donate money to the Special Olympics. All of the teams participated in the Swim-A-Thon. Each swimmer swam as many laps that they could to raise money for the Special Olympics. I swam 52 laps and raised $52 for the Special Olympics. (7/1/2017)
