Cities and oceans have never been more connected than before. With rising sea levels, London will soon be underwater or transformed into a coastal city. The Aquatic Ecologist Scout Pack serves as an introduction to prepare young children for this crucial future by adding more ocean-related activities and badges to their Scout manifesto to enhance ocean literacy, foster a sense of ownership, and provide valuable education. Through a thoughtfully curated blend of staged activities under the theme of Aquatic Ecology and spontaneous initiatives termed Ocean Aid, the proposition goes beyond traditional scouting. The immersive activities will cultivate environmental stewardship, future resiliency and a lifelong appreciation for our oceans.
The pack contains a notebook for observations, activity cards for participation, badges for reward and a ocean inspired scarf with a woggle.
