City Nature Challenge Update 2024

Interim and not final results of Scouts South Africa participation in the City Nature Challenge follow.

The photographing of our Natural History for the City Nature Challenge is now complete. Now is the time (30 April – 5 May 2024) for all to ensure that their observations are uploaded (synched) to the iNaturalist website and are correct (with a date, locality, photo and assigned to the Scouts South Africa Project).

SGL Request

SGLs are kindly asked to start determining how many Meerkats, Cubs, Scouts, Rovers, and Scouts from their Group have an observation count of 10 or more and who therefore earned the City Nature Challenge event badge. Knowing the count obviously allows the Group to order the exact number of required badges. Final iNaturalist user counts will be available on 6 May 2024 00:00:00.

Please see https://www.scouts.org.za/how-to-get-your-badge/

The deadline to order and pay for your Group’s City Nature Badges within your Region is 10 May 2024. The National Scout Shop will place the order later in May, following receival of the total orders and payments from all Regions.

Please note that the totals per user that are shown by clicking on any website address from above and may go down if observations are subsequently marked as “Casual”. They may go up as people synch their phones with iNaturalist. This is why the final stats are only cast in stone on 6 May 2024 00:00:00.
