The Eco-Pak provides sample games, activities, experiments, ideas for Guiding challenges and a list of resources so that you can start incorporating environmental stewardship as part of the whole Guiding program.

Create an outside game using recyclable materials, such as a mini-golf course, a croquet course or any carnival style game. BE IMAGINATIVE! Find out what plants and animals are endangered in BC. Choose one species that is threatened or no longer present in your area. Explain (in a story or skit) or illustrate (using a poster), what you think has caused its disappearance and what could be done to encourage its return.
6 E C O P A K C H A L L E N G E P a g e 6 ECOLOGY - TAKING IT OUTSIDE AND ON THE TRAILS Taking it Outside and On the Trails Explore the Outdoors and use your Eco-Pak tools!... Eco-Pak Page 20 Sound Maps - listen to nature!... Eco-Pak Page 24 Visit a neighborhood park, stream, lake, marsh, bog, grassland, or forest and learn about the plants and animals that live there. Record what you observe. Have an adventure! Try one or two Five Minute Field Trips... suggestions on Eco-Pak CD Go for a short hike to explore the earth. Collect some rocks and try to identify them, using a field guide on rocks and minerals. Gently turn over a rock to see what lives under it, and then put it back, of course. Check how moist the soil is under plant cover and compare to how moist the soil is on the trail. How do the plants help prevent erosion of the soil? Visit a tree farm, bird sanctuary, fish hatchery, game farm, bird or animal care facility and learn about the role they fulfill in protecting wildlife. Visit a fish hatchery, sawmill, mine, or other site that harvests natural resources. What measures are being taken by industry and/or government to conserve these resources for future use? Tour your local landfill or recycling center. What items belong/ do not belong here? How can we make our world/ environment better? Name 6 to 2 ways we use water every day. How can we conserve water at home? Try to carry a container of water on your head like many children and women have to do in the world. If you had to carry water for your family, would you be able to go to school? Explore a local stream, pond or lake and have an adventure! Ground Water Pollution Experiment: Needs: water, celery stalks with leaves, food colouring. When you do this experiment, place the emphasis on the concept of groundwater and the effects of pollution. Pretend the food colouring is pollution- add to water. Watch it swirl and take over the water. Put the celery in the glass. Pretend that it is a little plant, a tree or even a person who drinks water from the ground. After a few hours, check the celery. Cut it and you will be able to see how the "polluted" water has moved up the stalk. What we do to our water we do to ourselves. Tour a local farm that provides local (or organic) produce if the food we eat is grown close to home, do we have a better impact on our environment? How do fertilizers affect our food?
7 E C O P A K C H A L L E N G E P a g e 7 ECOLOGY LIVING THE CHALLENGE (SERVICE) Living the Challenge (Service) (-2 hours) (2-3 hours) (3-5 hours) or 2 (4-6 hours) or 2 (5-8 hours) Yellow Fish Road - Drain Painting: Contact the Ministry of Environment. Habitat Restoration: Contact local environmental groups regarding joining a pull for invasive species, re-planting natural wild flowers and plants in sensitive areas. Fish Stream Restoration/Hatchery programs. Establish or assist in a community garden, seniors care facility, local church, daycare or park. Participate in a recycling challenge. Community or Shoreline Clean-up. Find out what would be appropriate for the species in your area, and build one of the following: a birdhouse or bird feeder a bat roosting box, a duck nesting box, a Mason bee box, a butterfly house. Put it into use, or donate to a group that will use/ care for project.
