A framework for environment education in Scouting and the World Scout Environment Badge

The framework for environment education in Scouting and the World Scout Environment Badge is based on the principles and aims for environment education in Scouting. It can be used as a tool for National Scout
Organizations to review and update their environmental education programme.

The framework provides a clear structure for the World Scout Environment Badge, which is intended to refocus the attention of WOSM members on the challenges facing our environment from local to global level.
The World Scout Environment Badge is intended to replace the World Conservation Badge during the next triennium, with NSOs phasing out the use of the World Conservation Badge by the 39th World Scout Conference. WWF have been consulted throughout this process and are aware of the intention to replace the World Conservation Badge with the World Scout Environment Badge. They are supportive of this decision and have provided support for the educational content of the World Scout Environment Programme.
