Out-of-school groups
The THINK! Education road safety activities for out-of-school groups have been developed for leaders of groups for 5-11 year olds, such as Rainbows, Beavers, Brownies, Cub Scouts, Girls' Brigades and Boys' Brigades. They have been written to complement road safety materials available for teachers and parents.
