Q: How could Scouting use the Centenary year to make a positive difference to the environment and leave a lasting legacy to celebrate the next 100 years of Scouting?
A: Form a lasting partnership with The Woodland Trust.

The Woodland Trust and The Scout Association formed the Scouts For Trees partnership to enable every Scout across the UK to have the chance to plant a tree to mark the Centenary. The initiative also provided Scouts with the opportunity to learn about and engage in, woodland conservation. During 2006 and 2007, exactly 100 Centenary Woods were identified across the UK, from the north of Scotland to the south Cornwall coast, to become new areas of native woodland. Each area was to be made up of at least 2,000 trees, and each tree was to be planted by a Scout.

Les Scouts de la Roumanie ont récemment initié une collecte de fonds et une campagne pour aider les 112 familles qui sont victimes des graves inondations qui ont récemment touché le pays.

La zone autour de Tecuci a été la plus touchée par les inondations catastrophiques du mois de septembre, ce qui a grandement endommagé l'est du pays. Là-bas, plus de 600 familles sont soit sans abri, ou ont subi des pertes matérielles considérables.

During the 21st World Scout Jamboree in the UK in August 2007, Scouts aged 14 to 18 had the opportunity to participate in workshops at the Global Development Village (GDV), where they could learn about issues confronting the world today and in the future and explore how Scouts can act as a positive force for change in these areas.

The World Scout Environment Education Task Team, in conjunction with an international team of volunteers, the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Alcoa Foundation, developed four environment and sustainability workshops for the GDV on some of the most important issues for Scouts today and for the coming years. These topics included climate change, disaster preparedness, green living and renewable energy.

While other students were away having a nice relaxing school holiday, the Malaysian Scouts were having fun sticking their hands and feet into mud to do their bit for the environment. About 40 Scouts from SMK Teloi Kanan together with their group Scoutmaster and National Scout Commissioner for Environment, Kalaimani Supramaniam travelled 250 kilometers to Teluk Rubiah, Kuala Gula, a fishing village in the Kerian District, Perak, Malaysia to plant over five thousand mangrove seedlings and two thousand seeds in a 10 hectares area, which is the designated site for the Mangrove Rehabilitation Project.

In line with the long term strategic direction of the Singapore Scout Association (SSA), the Northeast Area under the leadership of Assistant Chief Commissioner Tan Tek Tin has adopted Sungei Punggol (two years initially) as a strategic partner of PUB under Our Waters programme (an initiative oby PUB, the national water agency).

Launched by Dr Lam Pin Min, MP for Ang Mo Kio GRC, the adoption aims to inculcate in our Scouts the importance of valuing waters by keeping our waterways and water catchments clean. More than 300 Scouts participated in the launching. They were involved in the following activities: Riverbank Clean up, Waterway Cleanup and House-to-house visits to conduct public education on DIY water-saving kits.

In collaboration with Ministry of Environment, Energy and Water, The Scout Association of Maldives has launched a Project “Return of the Flowers” in Male the capital city of the Maldives, to revive the growth of flowering plants, many which have become increasingly rare, and some of which are on the brink of extinction.

En cette moitié de l'année 2007, les scouts et les guides du monde entier se sont engagés à planter 2.393.685 d'arbres à travers la Campagne pour un milliard d'arbres du PNUE. Les scouts ont activement planté des arbres pour fournir un abri à la faune, pour améliorer l'environnement dans leurs communautés locales, pour améliorer également la qualité de l'eau et pour stocker le carbone, afin de réduire les effets des changements climatiques.

Opting to collect bulky refuse that litters the Qrendi countryside in Malta, as part of their “Clean up the World” activity, was no easy a task for the local Scout Group. The “Clean up the World” activity is an annual event with the purpose to foster a greater awareness of the need to care for the Maltese Environment.
