Scouts for Sustainability Day and Earth Day
May 31, 2025 - 9:30am to 3:00 pm
Groups, Sections and Families welcome
By leading, fun adventures with friends and gaining new skills, Beavers, Cubs and Scouts discover what they’re capable of and how it connects with the planet and communities in which they live. Through Scouts for Sustainability, Scouts Canada is committed to helping today’s young leaders blaze the trail to a brighter future and a better world.
As Beavers, Cubs and Scouts, we are committed to doing our part to make the world a better place. Working together as active global citizens, Scouts will discover they have the power to make a big impact – no matter their age. Environmental, husbandry, facilitating and other projects taken on at Everton Scout Camp will fulfill the criteria in the Environment, Society and Innovation areas to achieve Bronze Level.
