Brownies have taken part in a creative workshop to learn about water conservation and the benefits of energy-efficient homes.
The 4th Eastbourne Brownies teamed up with Barratt Homes for the event, which focused on water-saving features in new build properties.
The group decorated watering cans and learned how modern homes can reduce water usage.
The workshop was held as part of Barratt Homes’ wider energy efficiency campaign.
Charlotte Laslett, Eastbourne division commissioner, said: "The creative and educational workshop was the perfect way to help the Brownies understand how energy and water is used in our homes.
"It was fantastic to work with Barratt Homes as part of its energy efficiency campaign, as they help to inspire real change towards a greener future."
The campaign aims to educate and inspire young minds about sustainable living, while showcasing the energy efficient features of Barratt Homes developments.

As part of the session, the Brownies learned about water use in the home and decorated watering cans using acrylic paint pens.
Their designs will be displayed at the Hawthorn Grove development to highlight the water-saving potential of new build homes.
Barratt Homes says its properties use the latest water and energy efficiency technologies, including fittings that could cut water usage by 27 per cent compared to older homes.
Mark Vanson, sales and marketing director at Barratt David Wilson Southern Counties, said: "As we continue to carry out our energy efficiency campaign across East Sussex, it’s rewarding to work with young people in the community to highlight the importance of energy savings in the home, particularly as we get into the colder months of the year.
"Teaching these lessons from an early age can help encourage children to be mindful in how they protect the environment going forwards."
The workshop forms part of Barratt Homes’ engagement with schools and community groups to promote eco-friendly living.
