We are part of nature, which gives us
clean air and water, that is crucial for
our survival, protecting nature means
protecting ourselves as well!

Nature matters to every one of us. It


provides the things we need to live,
from the air we breathe to the water we
drink. But the more and more we take
from nature, the more we need to give
back to it. We can’t have a prosperous

environment programme, the Earth Tribe
Alliance, that engages young people in
education about sustainable development.

The Panda Badge specifically addresses
responsible consumption, helping young
people to better understand the impact
of their consumer habits on the
environment and how to make more
sustainable choices. Scouts can earn the
badge by completing three levels of
age-appropriate educational activities
and carrying out community projects in
service of the environment.
Nature study will show you how full of beautiful and
wonderful things God has made the world for you to
enjoy. Be contented with what you have got and make the
best of it. Look on the bright side of things instead of the
gloomy one.

-Robert Baden-Powell
