The more I think about your workshop – the more impressed I am by the way it was presented – it felt very vibrant – informative and I like the way you went through the various sections with activities – and powerful messages such as the poem at the end, the music video (which I definitely want to use!) and the visual games…
Being both a Beaver and Scout leader I was thankful at how we were able to look at the Climate Change activities and objectives and the trainers were able to translate them into something for both young youth (5 – 7) and the older youth (11 – 14) and make it something they would each/both enjoy! I am excited to put this into action. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
I hope others sign up for this workshop – you will come away with new knowledge and ideas for an important issue Scouting is tackling through this badge!
