When you are about 9 years old, your Badger leader will ask you to help out at your Sett. Being a Follow-me Badger is a very important job. You will do things like helping new Badgers find out what being a Badger is all about. It will also help you get ready for moving on to Cadets. You will still be able to take part in the Badger subjects and work for your Super Badger Award, but as you are an older Badger many younger Badgers will want your help and advice. 41 The Follow-me Badger markings 42 How do I get to be a Follow-me Badger? Your Badger Sett leader will help you choose six ‘taster’ activities to try out for about 12 weeks. The tasters are the sorts of jobs your Badger leader will ask you to do to help out in your Badger Sett. When you complete all six tasters, you will be a Follow-me Badger! You can then wear your Follow-me Badger markings on your uniform. Make sure you stamp your Badger passport so you know how many tasters you have done. 43 Taster 1 I completed this on Taster 2 I completed this on Taster 3 I completed this on Taster 4 I completed this on 44 Follow-me Badger tasters Taster 5 I completed this on Taster 6 I completed this on I was given my Follow-me Badger markings on 45 Run a raffle Help raise funds Lead a game Make a drink Tidy up Tuck shop Bring‘n’ buy Jobs I could do to help my Sett Waste disposal Set up equipment Make up a new game Look after visitors 46 Being a Followme Badger!

Badger families live underground in a Sett. (That’s why you meet in a Badger Sett!) Badgers favourite food is earthworms. They eat about 200 every day! Yum yum! Badgers live underground by day and come out to look for food at night. Badgers are black and white so they can hide well in moonlight and shadows. Badgers have small ears so they don’t get in the way when they are digging tunnels! Badgers are very bad at crossing roads because they cannot see or hear very well. Perhaps they need to learn their Green Cross Code! Badgers scoop out toilets for themselves, so they can keep their Sett clean. 63 64 Making a 999 or 112 call This is what you should do if there is an accident or a fire. 1 2 3 4 5 6 You can use any phone! When you dial 999 or 112 you do not have to pay for the call Dial 999 or 112 The operator will ask you if you need an ambulance, the Fire Service or the police Give the telephone number and address of where you are You will then be asked to describe what has happened. Tell them everything you can. Don’t worry if you don’t know the answer. Just do your best Help will soon be on its way. Remember Never call 999 or 112 unless there is a real emergency. 65 66 Notes 67 Badger working group Denise Aldridge (Chair) Tony Brewis Mandy Cooper Lynn Isherwood Ann Lloyd Sarah Merrick Brenda Pigden Simon Rose Sarah Smith Kent Durham Lincolnshire Hampshire Merseyside Hampshire Buckinghamshire National Headquarters Derbyshire With help from Stacey Major Tracey Sweeney Michelle Thompson Buckinghamshire Hertfordshire London First published in Great Britain 2004 Second impression May 2008 Third impression December 2010 © 2010 St John Ambulance Registered charity no. 1077265/1 Permission is granted to St John Ambulance to copy these materials for use within the organisation as required.
