SCENES Centres

Scout Centres of Excellence for Nature and Environment (SCENES) provide an opportunity for Scouts to visit natural areas, engage in environmental education programmes and see first-hand examples of environmental management in practice. When joined with other SCENES Centres in a worldwide Network, Scouts can see how different the environment is around the world, yet understand we are all connected on this planet. SCENES recognises and celebrates the diversity of environments and cultures around the world and is flexible to be adapted to the local needs.

Un Centre Scout d’Excellence pour la Nature et l’Environnement (SCENES) est un endroit très spécial. C’est un centre qui s’est engagé à long terme à respecter l’environnement et à promouvoir l’éducation à l’environnement.

Un Centre SCENES a pour mission de protéger son environnement naturel, de minimiser son propre impact sur la nature et de permettre à tous les acteurs en lien avec le centre de s’engager à ses côtés pour la protection de l’environnement et d’être en mesure d’apporter leur contribution personnelle à la cause environnementale.

Un Centre SCENES exerce par exemple une fonction de guide et de modèle vis-à-vis des autres Centres scouts ou autres, de ses hôtes et de sa communauté locale. Il peut organiser de véritables programmes éducatifs pratiques destinés aux scouts, de même qu’il fournit aux dirigeants des opportunités de formation, en leur transmettant sa passion de la nature et sa volonté d’agir pour l’environnement dans la vie de tous les jours.
