Use our activities and resources designed to inspire Beavers, Cubs and Scouts to care for the ocean.

    Beavers

    A basking shark swims facing face-on slightly off centre from the camera. As a filter feeder, its mouth is wide open showing its white gill rakers clearly against the dark of its mouth. The water is teal and looks like plankton is floating.

    Explorer Scouts

    Our free activity plans have been designed to help you complete the volunteering section of the Duke of Edinburgh Award.

    To make it easy, we’ve created example three-, six- and 12-month plans for campaigning, litter picking, fundraising and citizen science. These plans break the projects down into manageable steps while providing space for independent activity and decision making.
