Scouts earn badge for environmental work
A new programme is encouraging Scouts to become more aware of the environment.
The UNESCO Biosphere badge was launched earlier this week, by the Scout Association of the Isle of Man.
It's the first one to be introduced in the British Isles, and includes a series of challenges relating to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals.
Scout Commissioner for the South of the Island Gil Costain-Salway says there are shared values:
Ministers to face questions over Minimum Wage rise and VAT
Treasury and Enterprise the focus of several HoK questions following recently approved rate increase
Yellow weather warning for coastal overtopping later this morning
High tides expected to cause waves and debris along exposed coastal routes
"How can we prep for this?": Concerns continue to mount over minimum wage rise
Business owners urged to attend meeting to discuss impact of rate increase
Chamber calls for government to co-ordinate its approach to economy
Group says progress in one area doesn't work if others are being left behind
