The Environment Award
The Environment Award is about encouraging young people to develop a sustainable lifestyle. That is, a way of life that has a minimal impact on the environment. It is designed to bring a Group together to promote an environmentally friendly way of living.
The aims of the Environmental Award are to:
- promote environmental awareness in young people
- promote activities between the Sections
- support the environmental focus in the Balanced Programme
- ensure there is a positive influence on everyone taking part
- have a long-term benefit on sustainable development globally or locally.
Examples of projects might include:
- setting up a recycling point in the Group meeting place or Community Centre
- the creation of a 'wild area' or pond at the local campsite.
