Working with Youth groups
We have a clear mission to care for the world around us. Whether you are part of Rainbows, Cubs, Brownies, Beavers, Scouts or Guides, we are working with youth groups around the UK to inspire a new generation of sustainability champions and help young people make positive choices for a brighter future for our planet.
Resources to support youth group leaders
For over 30 years, we’ve been working with youth groups to inspire young people to make positive choices for a more sustainable future.
We’ve developed a series of creative resources designed to encourage young people to explore the natural world, share their love for it, and become inspired to safeguard it. They’ve been designed to support youth group leaders in the UK and we’ve done our best to meet the objectives of the core syllabus of some of the largest youth organisations in the country.

Activities to connect with nature
Take inspiration and ideas from our hub of seasonal and fun creative activities that are designed to encourage your group to get outside, get creative using recycled materials, and learn about nature and sustainability.
