"Whatever Section you’re in, there’s a way to be a planet champion, as each Earth Tribe Award contains three elements:

i. Champions for Nature
- Identify the need - Find out how our actions and behaviour are changing nature around us. Think about what we need to do to slow and reverse these changes.
- Plan action- Identify ways we can help nature. Think about how you can tell others about these ideas and make a plan of action.
- Take action - Carry out your plan. Tell people about how they can support and protect the nature around them. Remember to spread out your actions to create a lasting change.
- Learn and make more change - Think about how you helped to protect and support nature. Discuss with other young people why they think nature is important. Think about other actions you could take with Scouts across the world to protect the environment.
- Tell the world - Share with your group or local community what you did to help support and protect nature. Tell them the impact these changes can have and why you think it's important.

ii. Go Solar
- Identify the need - Find out how we generate energy in different ways and how they can affect the environment.
- Plan action - Identify ways people can use less or greener energy. Think about how you can tell others about these ideas and make a plan of action.
- Take action - Carry out your plan and encourage your community to be part of your action.
- Learn and make more actions - Explore your actions so far and think about how you helped to use less or greener energy. Think about how you can achieve more with Scouts across the world.
- Tell the world - Share with your group or local community what you did to help use less or greener energy. Tell them the impact these changes can have and why you think it's important.

iii. Tide Turners
Identify the need - Find out what happens to non-recycled waste in your local area. Explore what happens if we do not take care of our waste and how it might impact our environment.
- Plan action - Think of some ways you can help to keep our community clean, make less non-recycled waste, and help others do this too. Choose/pick some of these you want to do and make a plan.
- Take action - Carry out your plan. Organise activities to clean up your local area and tell people about how they can keep the environment clean. Remember to spread out your actions to create a lasting change.
- Learn and make more change - Think about your actions so far and how you helped to clean up and protect your local environment. Think about other actions you could take with Scouts across the world to protect our planet.
- Tell the world - Share with your group or local community what you did to clean up and protect your local environment. Tell them the impact these changes can have and why you think it's important.

There are three key aims:
i. Understand the world around you, and the challenges our planet faces.
ii. Become environmentally conscious, active global citizens and be a #PlanetChampion.
iii. Take action now and in the future to protect our planet and create a better world.

The idea for the award was sparked by young people just like you. Some 83% of young people aged between 8–15 said that looking after the environment was important to them (Children’s People and Nature Survey). Meanwhile, more than 8 in 10 (81%) said they wanted to do more to look after the environment."

3. Activity at Six Level:
- Split into your Sixes and discuss which Pathway you would like to focus on. Come to a collective agreement based on majority in favour
- Return to the Pack and each Six confirm their chosen pathway and why
- If no clear majority in pathways then eliminate the least popular and revote until a chosen initial path is agreed.

*Reminder if there is a strong first and second preference that each pathway is viable therefore can be the Pack can complete more than one pathway over time.
**Reminder that this is a Member driven Core Badge therefore Leaders should look to avoid influencing their desired pathway(s)
