Florida Environmental Scout Award Christened
Posted by admin under: Uncategorized .
Governor Charlie Crist of Florida has helped to promote an environmental award for the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts in Florida.
Governor Crist presented Serve to Preserve Scout Award insignias to Florida Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts for their environmental achievements. Age-specific requirements for the Serve to Preserve Scout Award were developed in partnership with leaders from the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts in Florida. Requirements for the award include:
Cub Scouts (ages 7 – 10) and Daisy and Brownie Girl Scouts (kindergarten – 3rd grade)
· Have a community clean-up day where your group picks up trash in a park, on school grounds, or another area that needs to be cared for.
· Draw pictures or write a letter to Governor Charlie Crist showing ways young people can Serve to Preserve Florida’s natural environment.
Boy Scouts (ages 10 – 18) and Juniors, Cadette, Senior and Ambassador Girl Scouts (grades 3 – 12)
· Organize a Serve to Preserve day in your community or school. Invite speakers from your community to speak to your classmates or group about ways to reduce pollution, conserve energy and help combat climate change.
· Learn about biofuels and how they are made, and list some of the alternative energy projects taking place in our state.
Since announcing the Serve to Preserve Scout Award in February 2008, more than 700 Florida Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts throughout the Sunshine State have earned the award. For more information on the Serve to Preserve Scout Award, visit www.MyFloridaClimate.com
