The litter pick also gained them a special ‘Ocean Helper’ badge which was part of a campaign initiated by one of the older group members, Scout Thomas Franklin. Thomas is an environmental activist and gave a talk to the Beaver Scouts on the risk posed to wildlife and ocean health by plastic waste. As part of his campaign he was sponsored by the sustainable tableware company Stroodles, who supplied litter picking grabbers, gloves and buckets to encourage the young people to participate in local litter picks and beach cleans.
