TAC Sustainability Challenge Whiteboard animated video explains challenge requirements for Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, Sea Scouts, Venturers, and Explorers in less than 5 minutes. Updated Sep 2023.

Each level can be earned by any youth or adult, in or beyond TAC. Cubs are encouraged to complete Blue. Scouts and adults are encouraged to complete Blue and Green.

Definitions and resources are in the Sustainability Challenge Resource Guide and on the TAC website, both at https://tac-bsa.org/sustainability.

You can order a limited-edition patch for each level, when you log your accomplishments in the TAC Sustainability records.

You choose how long (duration) and how much (amount) to do each action, unless specified.

The more you do, the more you will improve your impact upon the planet! Take the TAC Sustainability Challenge. We challenge you, your unit, and your families and friends to take the TAC Sustainability Challenge, and join the movement to improve human impacts upon the planet. In order to change the world and ensure that a healthy planet is there for the next generations, we need two things: Education & Action.

In order for us to measure the action created by the Sustainability Challenge and the impact it has on improving Sustainability around the world, we need to know what you did!

Don’t belong to Boy Scouts of America? Or TAC? No problem! Take the Challenge and share it with your friends and family! All Scouts, Guides, humans, and others are invited to take the Sustainability Challenge! Together we can ensure the future of our planet for the generations to come!
