Girlguiding Cymru launches new challenge in partnership with Sustrans Cymru

The Girlguiding Cymru Active adventures pack, produced in partnership with Sustrans Cymru teaches Rainbows, Brownies, Guides and Rangers about active travel.

This challenge is all about active adventure – using active ways, like walking, cycling, scooting or wheeling, to get to the places we need to go. There are 4 different sections in this badge, through which you will learn about active travel and develop skills to help you travel actively more often.

This pack has been reproduced with kind permission from the Girlguiding Scotland Active adventures pack, produced in partnership with Sustrans Scotland.

“We’re really excited and proud to be partnering with Girlguiding Cymru and to help encourage girls of all ages to walk, wheel, and cycle.

Following on from great work done by our colleagues in Scotland, we wanted to see the same opportunities here in Wales.

“The new Active Adventures badge is designed to encourage girls and young women to engage with nature, to get active, and to develop and learn new skills, which is fantastic.

We hope that this opportunity will encourage girls to become more aware of how they travel and make choices that are positive for people and planet.”

— Sustrans Cymru’s Director, Christine Boston.
