The ease with which the Scout Globe enables kids to observe and absorb a great deal of geographical information makes it an essential educational resource to have on hand at home and in the classroom. Featuring up-to-date geopolitical boundaries, more than 4,000 named places and points of interest, and (less common for a children's globe) ocean floor topography with identification, the Scout Globe readily conveys the diversity and immensity of the world in which we live. The visual presence of this sturdy, 12-inch acrylic globe is remarkably appealing, especially in light of its affordable price. Locations and relationships can be taken in at a glance. Minute details can be easily found and studied. A gentle touch suffices to send the Scout Globe spinning smoothly on its strong plastic base, inspiring repeat trips around the world that instill in kids a familiarity with our planet whose value transcends the wealth of knowledge they take in along the way.
