Its aim is for one million children to participate with their Scout sections, families, community groups or schools.
Through a series of fun tree and environment-oriented activities, young people learn more about the incredible world of trees and the part they play in the battle against climate change. When children have completed enough activities, they will earn their own Green Tree Badge. The activities also help Scout sections earn a variety of Scout badges!
