Additional curricula on invasive species need to be developed for all levels of education, starting as early as the first or second grade. These curricula should emphasize the importance of the diversity found in all forms of life around us. Importance should be given to the value of existing plant and animal life and how these organisms may prove useful to mankind in the future. It is important for the students of today, the leaders of tomorrow, to be aware of how invasive species can radically change the makeup of plant and animal life that surrounds us.

One excellent opportunity for educating the leaders of tomorrow is through the badge programs of the Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and 4H. For example, the Boy Scouts have a merit badge for Environmental Science, which is a requirement to become an Eagle Scout. This would be an appropriate platform for developing a module on Invasive Species.
