Scout Quiz - British Wildlife And Nature
Scouts explore many areas of the UK, and during these explorations, they come across various forms of wildlife, from butterflies to red deer. Nature and scouting go hand in hand, and Scouts need to be able to identify different forms of wildlife when they see them.
On almost all outdoor scouting expeditions, Scouts will encounter the diverse wildlife of the British Isles.
A famous site for Scouts to study wildlife in the UK, particularly red squirrels, is Brownsea Island, located in Poole Harbour, Dorset. This was the location for the first experimental Scout camp in 1907. Scouts can still pitch a tent on this historic campsite for an overnight adventure.
