Fascinating Fact:

The Earth Tribe Award is a Scouts award focused on understanding how to protect the world. Activities completed for it can also count towards other badge requirements.

In Specialist Scouts UK, this quiz focuses on Environmental Awareness and Conservation for Explorer Scouts. It’s about noticing how our actions affect wildlife and people, then choosing practical steps that reduce harm, protect habitats, and keep the outdoors healthy for everyone.

  • Conservation: Protecting nature by looking after habitats, wildlife, and resources so they last into the future.
  • Sustainability: Using things in a way that meets needs now without damaging the planet for the next generation.
  • Biodiversity: The variety of living things in an area, including plants, animals, and tiny organisms.
What does environmental awareness mean for Explorer Scouts?

Environmental awareness for Explorer Scouts means understanding how activities like camping, travel, and buying supplies can impact nature, then making choices that reduce damage and protect wildlife.

How can Scouts reduce their impact when camping?

Scouts can reduce impact by sticking to paths, taking all litter home, keeping fires safe and small (or using stoves), avoiding damage to plants, and leaving the site as they found it.
