Exploring our surroundings : a Brownie guide's step forward

Abstract

The dissertation follows the work of Buttigieg (2004), providing an environmental activity pack for the Malta Girl Guides Association aimed at the Brownies' age group. The objectives of the activities are based on the environmental education programme created by Buttigieg (2004). The pack consists of ten themes, each containing several activities related to the theme itself. This environmental activity pack gives the Brownie Guiders ideas regarding several environmental activities, as well as all the resources and information required for each of the activities. The aim of this environmental activity pack is to help Brownies develop a stronger, affective relationship with nature, whilst reaching their full potential as responsible members of the community. The feedback collected and evaluated clearly indicates that this environmental activity pack has reached its aims and will be of great use for the Malta Girl Guides Association.
