A new badge for Welsh girlguides is being launched to mark the RNLI's 200th anniversary.
A launch event is being held on Tuesday night at the RNLI's Barry Island visitor centre for the Girl Guiding Cymru badge, which aims to encourage young people to learn vital water safety skills and understand the history of the lifeboat charity.
It will take up to four sessions to compete and teach the RNLI's four key safety messages for children - stop and think, stay together, float and call 999.
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!"
The RNLI says that by earning the badge, young people will gain essential knowledge to share with friends and family while helping to promote a safer environment around water.
It will also encourage those taking part to connect with the charity’s core values.
The launch of the new badge is the latest in a year-long series of local celebrations marking the RNLI's 200th anniversary - which have included the arrival of a new Trent class all-weather lifeboat at Barry Dock and the first ever Festival of the Sea at Barry Island.
