Wild about conservation: Girlguiding North West England to earn new badge at Knowsley Safari

Knowsley Safari and Girlguiding North West England have teamed up to launch a new safari conservation badge, which aims to inspire the next generation of conservationists.

The Operation: Safari Conservation badge is available for Rainbows, Brownies, Guides and Rangers, aged between four and 18-years-old, who will take part in age-appropriate conservation-themed activities and challenges, both at Knowsley Safari during a dedicated weekend, and with the aid of a specially designed Challenge Pack, which can be used to earn the badge from any location. 

Earning the badge provides young members with interactive activities, exploring topics including native and non-native wildlife, endangered species and natural habitats, as well as learning practical tips on what we can all do to help protect the planet. 

Helena Berry, head of marketing and sales, Knowsley Safari, says: “We are passionate about conservation at Knowsley Safari and already work to inspire children and young people to care about wildlife, nature and the great outdoors. 

“It’s a natural step to launch the Operation: Safari Conservation badge with Girlguiding North West England and we’re delighted to be able to empower more young people to take action.” 

Malika Hunter, Head of Marketing & Communications, Girlguiding North West England, says: “We share the same values and goals as Knowsley Safari, especially when it comes to empowering the future generation to care about conservation. It’s been so rewarding to work together to create the new badge and challenge pack and we’re looking forward to our members enjoying earning their new badge.”
