Ways to be a Planet Protector

We know that girls and young women care about the planet and the animals we share it with. That’s why Planet Protectors is one of our five Future Girl topics.

16,558 Guides want to create a future where there’s no cruelty to animals

Whether you’re passionate about plastic use or want to protect wildlife habitats, it’s easy to get involved.

At home and in their unit meetings, girls can learn about the environment and become Planet Protectors. From our Zero waste interest badge for Brownies and Conscious consumer for Guides, to our Camp skills builders for all sections, there’s something for every girl.

Here’s some ways that some units are already being Planet Protectors…

Over the last few years, 1^st Ibstock Guides have helped clear the flower beds in the community garden, carried out litter picks around the village, planted bulbs in the cemetery and trees in the winter!” - Sally Gooch, Leader, 1^st Ibstock Guides

Our Rainbows have examined and drawn tadpoles, slugs and worms. We wanted to show them that animals are all around us, even if we don’t always “see” them.” - Lesley Hamilton

We made bug hotels from the bottle mansions unit meeting activity and they’re going to be placed in our village’s community garden.” - Emma Dixon, Leader, 2^nd Whittle le Woods Brownies

We placed dog poo bag bottles around our area. It came from doing the Influence skills builder, as the girls were sick of the mess! The community has responded very positively.” - Alicia Wright
