Scouts earn badge for environmental work
A new programme is encouraging Scouts to become more aware of the environment.
The UNESCO Biosphere badge was launched earlier this week, by the Scout Association of the Isle of Man.
It's the first one to be introduced in the British Isles, and includes a series of challenges relating to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
Scout Commissioner for the South of the Island Gil Costain-Salway says there are shared values:
Met Office issues coastal overtopping warning
Next two high tides expected to impact coastal areas
Questions raised about airport's safety and workplace culture
Government defends facility amid claims of cultural and operational issues
Garff Commissioners introduces street light scheme to be more 'proactive'
Local Authority says replacements can cost up to £800
Douglas Council purchases seven EVs for 'fleet renewal' programme
The local authority says these are replacing 'ageing' diesel vehicles
