Here you will find our revamped Rustle, Bustle & Squeak resource - we have given it a make-over, and added some new activities. It is designed to connect your girls with nature and have fun in the great outdoors. We have worked with the RSPB to modernise the content and make it more relevant for today.
• Enable girls to grow their love of nature and birds whilst having fun.
• Make it easy for leaders to take their units outdoors to discover birds and nature.
• Increase the number of girls who are making nature friendly choices and taking positive action to help birds and nature.
• Inspire girls to become champions for birds and nature, to speak out and drive change for the benefit of nature.
All the resources, badges and goodies relating to Rustle, Bustle & Squeak can be found on the region's online shop.
Nature needs our help. Nearly 40% of wildlife and plants in the UK are declining and 1 in 7 are at risk of being lost from the UK altogether. There are many threats to nature such as: the way land is farmed; climate change; pollution and the destruction of habitats to house building. The good news is that, throughout the UK and across the world, there are people working hard to restore habitats and care for wildlife. We can all do our bit to help nature.
Build your knowledge to understand what threats face nature and how we can help it. To earn this badge, you need to have a positive impact on nature in your community. This should be a challenge matched to your age and ability. We will make some suggestions for how each activity may be suitable for the different units, but you are able to adapt as needed. Ensure it is still a challenge, and you still have a positive impact on your community.
To earn the butterfly badge, complete one community nature conservation project. There are some great ideas in the pack!
