What is the Aquabox Challenge and Badge?

Two amazing Aquabox ambassadors Ray, from Rotary district 1070 and Sylvia, a District Guide Leader, set up the Aquabox Challenge.

The challenge is to raise awareness of the amazing humanitarian aid work that Aquabox does to save lives around the world in times of crisis.

Designed to be fun and simple, it is an adaptable way to inform youth about Aquabox. The Aquabox Challenge is suitable for individuals and groups of all ages ranging from 4 years to 100 years! Ideal for Scouting, Girlguiding and Schools.

There are three levels to the challenge; blue, silver and gold.

Who can take part?

Anyone who would like to have some fun and save lives at the same time.

First developed for youth groups, it is now being used by Guiding, Scouting and is also suitable for schools. Some Rotary International clubs have youth programmes, for example Rotaract, Interact, RotaKids and Rotary Star awards for which the Aquabox Challenge could be used.

Just choose or decide together, which questions suit your age range and what fun and thought-provoking activities to do. Have fun and then donate for your badges and you WILL have WORKED TOGETHER TO SAVE LIVES.

Learning about the humanitarian aid Aquabox provides is a part of the challenge and the website is a source of inspiration and answers to some of the challenges. Here are two videos that help to explain Aquabox’s mission.
