New Girlguiding Cymru RNLI Water Safety Badge to Launch at Barry Island

A new Girl Guiding Cymru RNLI Water Safety badge is being officially launched at the RNLI Experience Barry Island tomorrow at 6pm. The badge, created in celebration of the RNLI’s 200th anniversary, is designed to inspire young people to learn vital water safety skills and understand the history of the lifesaving charity.

The challenge, which takes up to four sessions to complete, encourages participants to connect with the charity’s core values and share important water safety messages with their communities.

It also teaches the RNLI’s four key safety messages for children: stop and think, stay together, float, and call 999. By earning the badge, young participants will gain essential knowledge that they can share with friends and family, helping to promote a safer environment around water.

Andy Gavan, Coxswain at Barry Dock RNLI, said: ‘This new badge is a fantastic opportunity to introduce young people to the lifesaving work we do. By taking part in this challenge, they’re learning essential skills that could one day help save lives. Who knows, some may even become the next generation of lifeboat volunteer crew!’
