The Activity badges have two levels indicated by the border colour and shape: red and square-shaped for Voyageur and green and diamond-shaped for Pathfinder.
This award is designed to demonstrate a Scout's concern for, and active stewardship of, the environment.
The badge shows Antarctica - the only collectively managed continent in the world and one of the most at risk from climate change - at its center.
The other land-forms create a world image inside a green border.
In order to earn it, the Scout must complete the Climate Change and Emergency Preparedness Challenge badges, do at least 2 of the following badges (Fish and Wildlife, Soil and Water Management, Forestry), make a presentation about how their community is addressing climate change, research a local environment issue and do an 8-hour environmental project with their troop.
