SOAR challenge - travelling through nature

The challenge

Explore nature, conservation, and culture around the world.

There are two main topics covered in this badge;
  • Local environment (green)
  • Conservation and culture (blue)
Within these are a number of different sub-topics. To complete the badge, you must carry out at least 1 meeting activity from each sub-topic. You are welcome to do more of course!

The sub-topics are as follows;
  • Local environment
    - Habitat
    - Fauna
    - Flora
  • Conservation and culture
    - Threats
    - Conservation
    - Culture

Not all pages are meeting activities, some are 'filler activities'. These do NOT count towards the badge, and are just quick games.

Each activity will state which main topic it belongs to, which sub-topic it is, and also which age group it is aimed at. Some activities are on more than one page, so check the top of the page to make sure you have all of the right pages!

This badge was created for the SOAR 2020 INTOPs trip, to raise
money for girls from Gloucestershire to be able to experience an international camp, and learn valuable life skills. The trip sadly didn't take place because of covid-19, however funds from this badge continue to support events and international opportunities within the county. 

Thank you for supporting this incredible opportunity for the girls!
