criteria for the badge: (from girl guides singapore website)
Guides may work alone or in groups of not more than 4 to complete the following 4 clauses:
Clause 1: (all of you have done this already :D)
1. Make either a Log Book, a short video or a slide presentation on one of the following items:
- 1.1 Saving valuable resources (e.g. water, paper, fuel, electricity, metals, etc.)
- 1.2 List substances which are harmful to the environment (e.g. toxic wastes, ozone, etc.). Suggest ways to combat their consumption.
- 1.3 Make a research into how garbage is disposed in Singapore. What are the problems? Show how some of the wastes can be reduced, reused, or even recycled.
- 1.4 Make a study of an animal which has been declared ‘endangered’ and show how Man was responsible for the cause of its near extinction. Suggest how Man may reverse his actions in an effort to protect it.
- 1.5 Collect articles from newspapers and magazines illustrating how actions of people harm, or help, the environment. Study what a government, voluntary or commercial agency has done to help protect the environment.
- 1.6 Make a list of government, and either voluntary or commercial agencies which have undertaken projects in relation to environmental protection. Study one of the projects, showing its contributions.
2. Either use scrap materials to make a practical and useful object (the craft should not be ornamental), or make a poster depicting any theme on protecting the environment. The poster/collage should be displayed in school.
NOTE: This is to be done in your groups of 4. If your group decided on making the pratical and useful ornament using recyclable scrap materials, your group only needs to submit one ornament. However, if your group decided to make posters, every group member has to submit one each. Do NOT give sloppy work or we'll reject. We mean it.
3. Organise a ‘Green’ service project (e.g. tree planting). It may be an effort to increase the awareness of the community as well. (This clause may be done in a group of 2-8).
Note: The website said this clause may be done in groups of 2-8, thus on friday's cca many groups of 4 combined to form groups of 8. All of you should have emailed your group's plans to Afiqah by now. Remember to get photos of the process of your project as evidence that you have really done it.
thats all. i think this post has made it very clear what all of you are supposed to do, so i don't expect anyone to not submit any of the clauses. any more questions, ask the excos. thanks (:
