Climate Change - Take Action Now!
A guide to supporting the local actions of children and young people, with special emphasis on girls and young women.
The world’s population is young, with some 2.2 billion people under the age of 18. Children and young people have unique insights into solving problems in their communities, and often play a key role in the survival of their families in the event of natural disaster. We believe that by recognizing the rights and capacities of girls and boys, young women and young men, the challenges posed by climate change can be turned into opportunities for sustainable development.

Scouting, and the Environment
As the world enters a new century and a new millennium, the environmental problems facing mankind have moved to centre stage. Being a matter of education, it is a matter which concerns Scouting and is today at the forefront of non-formal educational youth movements all over the world. This is what this reference document is all about. The second edition of the document “Scouting and the Environment” is an updated and enlarged version of the one published for the first time in 1992 by the Centre for Prospective Studies and Documentation of the World Scout Bureau.
SCENES Guidelines
A Scout Centre of Excellence for Nature and Environment (SCENES) Centre is a very special place. It is a centre that has made a long term commitment to protect the environment and promote environmental understanding. A SCENES Centre is committed to protecting its natural environment, minimising its environmental impact and enabling all who are connected with the centre to engage with nature and become empowered to make their own personal commitment to the environment. A SCENES Centre leads by example and acts as a positive role model to other Scout and non Scout centres, to its guests and to its local community. It can provide real hands-on educational activities for Scouts and training opportunities for leaders, equipping them with an enthusiasm for nature and a desire to do something positive for the environment in their home-life.
