Scouts all across the world now have the opportunity to earn a new badge: recycling. This was introduced in the hope that it will teach young people how to recycle. They will have to learn what can be recycled and most importantly, how to recycle it.

They will also get to learn how dumping litter in the wrong place can harm the community and environment.

The environment badge will be awarded to those who take part in a community clean-up campaign and help recycle the materials collected.
